Virtual: ‘Coming Out’ Panel Discussion: Stories from the Intersection of Disability and Sexuality
Yale’s Workplace Survey results revealed that a higher percentage of LGBTQ+ identified people also identify as disabled compared to the heterosexual majority.
This panel will focus on storytelling, skill-building, and the choice of disclosure, and is intended to highlight one area of intersectionality between the LGBTQ and DiversAbility at Yale Affinity Groups.
In celebration of National Coming Out Day (October 11), panelists will discuss their experiences of “coming out” either as LGBTQ+, as having a disability at Yale, or both.

Developers Lunch-and-Learn: Accessibility
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!
