I recently spoke at #a11yTOConf, a conference by the organizers of the regular a11yTO meet-up. The organizers put together a great line up of speakers. It was the first #a11yTOConf but I hope it won’t be the last!

Here are my slides for Writing for Every Reader.

Resources I mentioned:

• Hemingway App, the app that helps improve the readability of your content.
• BeeLine Reader, the browser plugin for dyslexics.

Articles that were helpful to me:

• Cognitive Disabilities, an introduction by WebAIM.
• Dyslexia and Typography
• Fonts don’t matter
• How Chunking Helps Content Processing
• Legibility, Readability, and Comprehension: Making Users Read Your Words
• Accessibility posters by the UK Home Office.

More on accessibility:

• Selfish Accessibility by Adrian Roselli got mentioned in a few different talks. It’s well worth watching.
