How to identify a toxic accessibility culture, and what you can do about it

Kes: Sheri Byrne-Haber is the sharpest writer writing about accessibility, and I make a point of trying to read everything she writes. Her point about attitudes regarding accessibility taking their cues from the top is the number one item that will make or break accessibility throughout the entire company, school, hospital, club, convention, wherever you are trying to make a change.

Damn! Byrne-Haber has a sharpened tongue.

Why do organizations allow someone who isn’t allowed to expense a $25 stapler without two other levels of approval make decisions ignoring basic accessibility guidelines that triggers this massive risk?

She mentions “accessibility dashboards” — do you know what those are?
