May 20 is Global Accessibility Awareness Day!

GAAD logoThe purpose of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital (web, software, mobile, etc.) access/inclusion for the one billion people who have different abilities.

While people may be interested in the topic, the reality is that they often do not know how or where to start. Awareness comes first. Become more aware about digital accessibility and celebrate the right of every individual to enjoy equal access to the Internet.
