Lucien ImminkTeam Rockstars IT
With the European Accessibility Act (EAA), it is becoming increasingly important to develop software that is accessible to everyone. While there are tools available to help improve accessibility, they often provide a skewed view of what is truly needed. It requires a fundamental shift in the organization's mindset. In this talk, Lucien will not only cover some of the available tools but also what is needed to create a culture of accessibility within your team and organization, ensuring your software is genuinely usable by everyone.
Digital accessibility goes beyond implementing tools. It demands a holistic approach that encompasses all aspects of development and design. This means considering accessibility from the very beginning and integrating it into every phase of the development process. By embracing a new mindset, you can ensure your software not only meets legal requirements but is truly accessible to all users.
In this session, Lucien will discuss the key principles and strategies to enhance digital accessibility. He will discuss what you can do to create a culture of accessibility within your organization and the steps you can take to achieve this. We all benefit from more accessible websites and web applications!
