    My latest article for is on the perils of accessibility overlays. (Thanks for your existing contributions on the topic! We’ve included links)

    Overlays claim to improve or 'fix' website accessibility. But often they can make the user experience worse for the disabled people they claim to help. Consider these points before using one on your website ⬇️

    Maybe instead of interviewing the famous person who has an opinion about a thing they’re unaffected by you instead interview someone who is affected by it.
