I have spent over 15 years educating website owners about my needs and the needs of people like me. And recently, most of my income has come from writing, consulting, and speaking on the subject of digital accessibility. Along with this discovery came the realization that there aren't many people talking about accessibility from my point of view. That being emphasizing how accessibility and inclusion isn't just the right thing to do but it is in the best interests of every business, nonprofit, and government agency. I call my approach the Accessibility Advantage. I have also decided to start a new podcast under that same name. You can check out the trailer I recorded to see what you can expect from the show. And for those who know me, yes I do still sing on the intro. Even though it was really hard to rhyme words like disability and accessibility. haha I hope this is the beginning of an amazing new chapter in my life and in the lives of the disabled people I hope to help by championing accessibility. I am still going to need your support. So, I hope I can count on you for questions, comments, suggestions, reviews, and shares.
