The topic for this session is Testing for Accessibility. We will cover how to do an accessibility test on your site/application using automated accessibility checkers and manual reviews. We will demonstrate a few automated accessibility tools to test your site (what to use and how to use them). However, automated accessibility checkers only uncover about a third of all accessibility issues. Manual testing is essential in the accessibility testing process. Using bookmarklets, browsers, and other tools, learn our tips and tricks for checking for these not-as-easy-to-find issues!

In the first six months of 2020, today’s children and youth have lived through so many soul-provoking experiences. With the advent of COVID-19 illness and death, quarantines, school closures, summers on hold, graphic depictions of violence, the prospect of not going back to school or going back in a socially distanced fashion, and difficult imagery and discussion around issues of race and justice, youth have a lot of questions—and some even have deep concerns and fears.
