“We Need Accessibility—But Where Do I Even Start?” A Manager’s Perspective on Moving Beyond Awareness
“We just need to raise awareness.” If I had a dollar for every time I saw that in a job posting for an accessibility specialist, I could fund an entire accessibility department.

Accessible design benefits everyone because you really do have to consider the "Why" and "How" more than just the visual aesthetic. Catch the whole podcast on YouTube youtu.be/UzzzLJQ2R74 #accessibility #inclusiveDesign #ChaxChat

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD2025 —a day that means a lot to me, both professionally and personally.

Here is a playful reminder that our identities don’t come with a manual or warnings —but maybe they should come with expansion packs.

An A.I. digital rendering of seven toy-style blister packs styled like collectible action figures. The largest package on the left features a likeness of me labeled “ADHD Adult,” holding a hammer and fishing pole with accessories including a chicken, koi fish, and “How To” book. Surrounding it are five themed “expansion packs” labeled Japanese Watercolor, Woodworking, Gardening, Korean Cooking, and White Water Rafting. Each contains clay-style miniature tools and items representing that hobby. Text reads: “It’s okay to be me!” and the Global Accessibility Awareness Day logo.

What a great Creative Jam session with co-hosts Marina and Ceclia, and all the amazing attendees from the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools! Lots of great questions on #accessibility.
Marina hosts the Creative Jam zoom session. The words Inspire, create, repeat are on the background behind her.

Chad leans against the side of the advertisement with a quote: "If you are not testing your documents with a screen reader, how can you be sure it is a good user experience?" A foldout of the manual is shown as well. The text in the ad is also listed in the body of this post.
