Quinze ans de Journée mondiale de sensibilisation à l'accessibilité représentent une étape importante pour moi. 2011 a marqué la fin de mon stage Career Edge chez Bell. #GAAD #LeConnexionEstEssentielle fr.alicia.design/post/15-ans-...

Fifteen years of Global Accessibility Awareness Day is a powerful milestone for me personally. 2011 was the year my Career Edge internship at Bell ended. #GAAD #ConnectionIsEverything www.alicia.design/post/15-year...

15 years of #GAAD and I’m grateful for a community that continues to shape how we think about technology, inclusion, and human connection. Here’s to the people pushing accessibility forward every day. #GAAD2026 #A11y #Accessibility

Disney Animation remade three songs for ASL. For these, we resurrected the original data and pipeline version, reanimated (from near scratch in some places), relit where needed, and re-rendered. Probably the hardest way to do this, but definitely the right way to do it, so that's what we did!

The animators deserve all the praise for this! Even more delighted that AI was not used. The amount of work that went into this should be recognized!

BTW, just in case it wasn't clear: the Disney ASL song remakes were not AI generated or anything like that. Just a ton of hard work from a dedicated team of artists and TDs who cared deeply about doing this properly. My wife was one of the TDs on this! (Behind-the-scenes video is from Cartoon Brew)

Check out a first look at Disney’s ASL re-animated songs from 'Encanto,' 'Frozen 2,' and 'Moana 2,' coming to Disney+ next week. The studio reworks key musical sequences using performance-driven signing. www.cartoonbrew.com/music-videos...

J'ai passé la semaine dernière à un hackathon pour développer une #IA plus sécuritaire au service de la santé mentale des jeunes. #SantéMentale #A11y #LeLienEstEssentiel fr.alicia.design/post/ce-que-...

Spent the last week at a hackathon building safer #AI for youth mental health. Left thinking less about what AI can do—and more about how it shows up when young people really need support. #MentalHealth #A11y #ConnectionIsEverything www.alicia.design/post/what-bu...

Hyperlink text should make sense when read out of context. Screen reader users can navigate from link to link, and can listen to links in a list. When navigating this way, only the link is read. So "click here" or "read more" won't make sense.

Don't buy into the myth that "accessibility is only about adding alternative text to images." Alt text is important, of course. But there is so much more to accessibility, including headline structure, functional controls, color contrast, link text, plain language, and more.

After months of trying to play nice with Donald Trump and MAGA world, Mark Carney decided to drop the hammer of truth on his rogue administration, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes. What comes next will help determine Canada's place in the world — and whether it even has one.

I’ve been exploring Crave lately and I’m so impressed by how much #ASL inclusive content is starting to show up. It’s awesome to see #Crave recognizing the importance of #Accessibility and disability representation. More of this please 👏🎉💙
