Topics * We are talking about Accessibility today, but specifically gearing the conversation towards developers. Why? * So many people when coding for accessibility simply provide workarounds. Why can this be dangerous? * What is ARIA? * What is meant by the term Landmarks? * How does this apply to dev’s working with Drupal? * What modules do you recommend? * How can you help content editors maintain accessibility while adding content? * What are common pitfalls you see devs make * How can Javascript help or hurt Accessibility? * In closing, is there anything you would like to add?
