Description: More information about Digital Accessibility Law for Developers, Designers, All of Us

There's no denying it -- the law has become a significant driver of accessibility in the United States, and increasingly around the globe. Because of this, everyone whose work touches accessibility needs to be familiar with what is happening in the courts, with legal settlements, and with laws and government regulations impacting the accessibility space. This webinar will present up-to-date legal developments, the legal foundation for our work in accessibility, and best practices from legal advocacy. Digital accessibility is a civil right: let's learn to talk about the law as a motivator for good, not as something to fear.

Objectives:

  • Participants will gain ability to talk about accessibility as a civil right

  • Participants will understand the current state of digital accessibility law (primarily in the US, with some focus on international developments) 

  • Participants will gain knowledge of the best practices developing from legal advocacy

Target Audience:  Anyone who works in the accessibility space

Skill Level:  All levels
