May 21, the third Thursday in May, is annual Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). The purpose of GAAD is to get people talking, thinking and learning about digital accessibility and users with different abilities. An excellent way to participate in GAAD is to make some time in your busy day to experience the impact of digital accessibility first-hand, for example:
- Go mouseless for an hour.
- Read a PDF document using the free VIP Reader from the Swiss National Association of and for the Blind. The VIP Reader is intended for people with visual impairment.
- Check your electronic documents using the excellent free color contrast analyzer from the Paciello Group.
