@davidwolfpaw Thanks! I’m not great at keeping my own site up to date😬

On the podcast today we have Christina Deemer. She's a senior UX developer and champions accessibility in her work with publishers and nonprofits. She talks about what the term cognitive disabilities actually means, and what it encompasses. Go listen... wptavern.com/podcast/48-chr…

Dis/abled? Lose the slash. Dis-abled? Lose the dash. DisAbled? Lose the capital “A.” There’s nothing wrong with “Disabled.” Say the word. Use the word. Lose the euphemisms.

@melissahiatt That’s so nice to hear, Melissa!

@cahdeemer Thank you for this presentation! It was the most eye-opening one of the conference for me. I will definitely put this to use in my future designs and consultations with my clients!!
