This PyCon US conference talk examines the critical issue of accessibility in software development, highlighting that while 15-20% of the world's population has some form of disability, most software remains inaccessible. Discover what disability truly means, how to evaluate whether users can effectively navigate your website, and how to address unknown access barriers. Learn about the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and when you need to think beyond these standards, exploring valuable resources and tools for comprehensive accessibility implementation. Through diverse real-world case studies, examine household brand interfaces, early web design practices, government communication techniques, medical device accessibility challenges, and navigation issues at technical events. Gain practical insights on evaluating your software's accessibility, understanding the consequences of inadequate assessment, and designing inclusive systems that truly work for everyone in this 30-minute presentation.
