Thursday May 19th marks the fifth
Global Accessibility Awareness Day. The
goal for Global Accessibility Awareness Day (or GAAD for short) is to
get people who work in technology to start talking, thinking, or
learning about accessibility.

If you’re not familiar, accessibility is about building solutions for
those who have disabilities. For the web, it means considering those
who are deaf, blind, colorblind, or have motor skill disabilities in
your design and development.
