Over 1.3 billion people live with some form of disability; this number accounts for almost 20% of the U.S. workforce. While great strides have been made in closing the disability inclusion gap in the workforce, more needs to be done.

As the popularity of hybrid and remote work continues to grow, workers who live with a disability and work from home increasingly need accessible software and technology tools to support their quality of life. Software accessibility is crucial to enable all users to access and use technology effectively, regardless of their physical abilities, also it's also a legal requirement in many countries. So, how do you build accessible software? And how do you make sure your software meets accessibility requirements and standards?

Join our panel of software development experts as they discuss:

  • Software accessibility requirements and guidelines
