At Botlhale AI, we believe in building a digital world that welcomes everyone and for her speaky, Khutso Dithejane spotlighted exactly that! She took us on a thought-provoking journey into the world of accessibility with her "The Hidden Barrier: Why Accessibility Matters." She shed light on how accessibility goes beyond physical spaces, emphasising its importance in the digital world. From inclusive design principles to practical tools, this session was a reminder that accessibility benefits everyone. Key takeaways: 🔑 Accessibility is about designing products/services for all, regardless of ability. 📊 1.3B globally experience disabilities, 80% of which are hidden. 🛠️ Design tips: - Use colour contrast tools. - Add alt text to images. - Include captions in videos. - Communicate with plain language. Accessibility isn’t just about compliance; it’s about creating a welcoming digital experience for all. Let’s start baking accessibility into every step of our processes!
