I gotta say though. This thing rarely finds its docking station, it’s loud and it’s slow. The one purchase I regret the most in 2025.

I started renovating our new house with a strict plan. Then all sorts of shit went wrong.
Rigid plans, especially for accessibility, often fail because you can't fully know the problem until you start.
I’d rather stay nimble! You don’t know what you don’t know.

I've got a "don't forget to" list for shipping accessible websites.
It covers everything from heading structure and alt text to keyboard navigation, screen readers and colour contrast.
This helps me make sure everyone can use my site.

Workshops need action plans to be effective.
I use "The three ones" exercise to quickly define who does what by when. Participants suggest tasks for one day, one week, one month, then take them on.
It's great for clear next steps!

Effective Accessibility Workshops: How to build an action plan | Bogdan Lazar

I lost 20kg by taking small consistent steps.
This approach also works for web accessibility: set a vision, break it down, prioritise, keep moving, learn, celebrate and involve everyone. Often, small consistent efforts beat big sporadic pushes.

Someone asked about the hardest part of my job.
It's not the tech or the WCAG or the standards. It's the daily grind. Pushing through when recommendations are ignored, explaining things repeatedly and feeling minimal progress.
That's what's truly tough for me.

I remember showing someone the <details> element in place of the fancy, and inaccessible, accordion component with a few dependencies they installed from npm.
Blew their minds like I invented the damn thing.
That was a good day.

They stop making decisions until they ask AI about it. And AI will happily agree with them.
And why wouldn’t it? Its whole spiel is to get you to write another prompt.

I’ve seen people stop thinking form themselves. They stop thinking they can do things that just a few short months ago they had no problem doing. And I’m not talking about mundane things.

Probably worth noting that these questions, while they don’t explicitly state it like that, imply “to me.”
Why is accessibility so important to me?
Why does accessibility matter to me?

They usually ask what I mean and I have the opportunity to explain how we’re all going to be disabled at some point, how aging is inevitable and how having the right attitude towards accessibility now matters for later.

Don’t you worry. I had the same experience with Uber. Moved countries and their UI wouldn’t let me put in a valid post code because they were still following the format of the other country.
Customer support was useless.
Solved it using Bolt.

Regarding phoning in…I can’t say. I asked for additional time myself and I remember there was a space on the form to ask for additional accommodations.
There are also IAAP drop in sessions free to join where they answer all questions about exams.
