WCAG 2.2 is published! Congrats to the Working Group! w3.org/TR/2023/REC-WC…
MY LATEST: Ahead of GAAD tomorrow, Adobe today announced a so-called "Auto-Tag API" that it says should help make PDF docs more accessible. I talked with Adobe's senior product manager for accessibility Rob Haverty this week all about the new tool. forbes.com/sites/stevenaq…
@jplichta Great and important #a11y improvements to #adobefirefly!
Latest update to #adobefirefly addresses many accessibility issues. Let us know how we can improve further because there should be no barriers to creativity.
SCOOP: Adobe today released results of its 2nd annul study looking at how social media + other digital tools help amplify awareness of disabled people. I talked to Adobe accessibility boss @awkawk all about it in an exclusive interview for my column. forbes.com/sites/stevenaq…
@cmlpmedia Back on! Thanks @cmlpmedia
Shoutout to @KevinHart4real for raising a little awareness about vertigo at #adobemax sneaks!
National Disability Employment Month #NDEAM helps raise awareness on the importance of employment opportunities for people with disabilities. I posted today how the Access at Adobe employee network is celebrating the community’s intersectional identities: blog.adobe.com/en/publish/202…
@MisterKayne76 @Adobe @joedevon @Jennison @LFLegal @amarjain2006 @Rahul400 @MissionAccess_ @rakesh_a11y @MisterKanye Chances are that the bank statements are not made using Acrobat and possibly not with Adobe tools. The issue you are pointing out is probably in the PDF specification (which Adobe developed but is now open source). Have the companies you work with said that they won't change it?
@MisterKayne76 @Adobe @joedevon @Jennison @LFLegal @amarjain2006 @Rahul400 @MissionAccess_ @rakesh_a11y @misterkanye We try to discourage people from using that option, and try to educate our customers about the impact of using it, but some customers need this functionality for their security policies. 3/3
@MisterKayne76 @Adobe @joedevon @Jennison @LFLegal @amarjain2006 @Rahul400 @MissionAccess_ @rakesh_a11y @misterkanye If the option is deselected there is a dialog that appears that reads “Disabling text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired will make this document inaccessible to some disabled users and non-compliant with accessibility regulations" 2/3
Please consider making a donation to the Murphy family. Beth is on our Unified Basketball and Girls Tennis coaching staffs and could use our support! @BostonHeraldHS @TimDumas Prayers and Positivity for Dave Murphy gofund.me/2a9047cc
David Murphy has given the last 20+ years to the students of Medway. Ask any student or alum about him and you will be met with a story of a kind, generous,caring, witty, and passionate teacher. He is not one of the good ones, but one of the all time greats #MurphStrong

My favorite part about our post today is the spotlight story about Janie, a visually-impaired designer who uses Adobe tools to create Braille books to allow visually-impaired parents to read with their kids. blog.adobe.com/en/publish/202…
Today, we celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD2022. We applaud @TheJusticeDept's new web accessibility guidance and hope it helps to increase equal access to information. Learn more about accessibility at Adobe: adobe.ly/3PxfA41
More GAAD content from me: I talked to Adobe’s director of accessibility, Andrew Kirkpatrick, about what the company is doing internally and externally to support the disabled community. forbes.com/sites/stevenaq…
