Flip your mouse upside down & use your non-dominant hand. It forces imprecision and quickly reveals targets that are too small, too close, or only usable under perfect conditions. Accessible design shouldn’t rely on pixel-perfect aim. #Accessibility #A11y #UX #WCAG22

Ever tested drag-and-drop or target sizes on a wet phone? ☔️ In the real world it’s: Commuter travelling in the rain Parent juggling a toddler Worker in gloves That “big enough” button? Suddenly not. Accessibility means designing for the messy, unpredictable moments. #Accessibility #UX #Inclusive

Accessibility is rewarding but draining. Burnout is real. The golden rule? Look out for your fellow advocates: notice dips, share the load, celebrate wins. Accessibility is a long game we can’t carry it alone. #Accessibility #Inclusion #Wellbeing

If I could give my younger self 3 tips on starting in accessibility: 1. Momentum over perfection, small wins matter. 2. Your voice can often help more than any tool. 3. Keep experimenting, playful tests reveal big insights. What advice would you give your younger self? #Accessibility #UX

I’ve hacked my Stream Deck into an accessibility audit control panel From instant WCAG links to JS bookmarklets, NVDA launch, hex pickers + modal escapes no more tool-hopping or hand yoga. Total game changer. Anyone else doing this? 👀 #Accessibility #DevTools

I test accessibility by switching websites to a language I don’t know. It forces me to rely on layout, structure, and visual cues. If I can still navigate, it’s a good sign of intuitive design plus, I’m learning some French! #Accessibility #UX #Inclusion

When I test with a screen reader, I cover my screen with a towel before loading. Why? Because seeing the layout first gives clues about structure and hierarchy that can bias testing. Listening without visuals shows how well the content stands on its own. #Accessibility #UX #Design #Disability

I wanted to share ‘Beta’ release of my QuizA11y ‘Accessibiliy Quiz App’. www.quiza11y.com Still lots of work to do and it’s far from perfect. I created it to help me learn when more easily with an element of gamification. #Accessibility

Accessible headings matter! Use clear, descriptive text, ensure proper hierarchy (H1 > H2 > H3), and avoid skipping levels. This helps everyone, including screen reader users, navigate with ease. #Accessibility

Rule number one… never give up when you are trying establish or grow and expand an accessibility champion or advocates network! An Accessibility Champion never gives up on their mission to recruit more accessibility advocates! #Accessibility

Repeat after me… You do not need the word ‘Accessibility’ to be in your job title… it should already be part of your every day role! My advice is not to look at how you become an Accessibility Specialist but to look at how you can incorporate accessibility into your existing role. #Accessibility
