Hello Everyone: Some people collect watches, shoes, handbags, stamps, coins, baseball cards, cars, seashells, comic books, wine bottle corks, etc. Well, I collect accessibility statements, and in 2016 when I started my collection and I would spend a lot of time searching for accessibility statements and then I would verify that those organizations actually had a current and legitimate accessibility statement. Many did not meet either criteria.

 

Fast forward, as a result of tracking this activity closely for eight years, I have seen the total number of organizations worldwide creating and posting bona fide accessibility statements increase significantly over the past few years. This is a strong indicator that more marketing, sales, IT, HR, finance, and legal departments understand the importance of their website's accessibility from a usability and inclusivity standpoint, in addition to it being a financial and legal motivator. I am even starting to see WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility statements, which reflects the recency of those updates.

 

The accessibility industry has moved the needle through education, training, and laser-focused efforts, not to mention lots of your blood sweat, and tears, but we still have a ways to go before we collectively hit the tipping point for total inclusion for the ever-growing worldwide community of people with disabilities (PWDs).

 

My growing list of accessibility statements can be found at the link below. My total count as of tonight is 2,655, and it increases by ten new organizations each week. If you would like to add your organization’s accessibility statement to my list then please respond to this email and I will gladly include your statement in my collection. (The last time I did this I received 154 new statements from various organizations, so let’s top that number!)

 

I hope you have an enjoyable, restful, and cool weekend.

 

Sincerely,

Jack

To make that determination, the SSA relies on a jobs database to suss out if there are any jobs the applicant can still perform. But critics have called the database unfair and flawed, given that it was last updated in 1977 and includes dozens obsolete occupations…

About 170 billion cells are in the brain, and as they go about their regular tasks, they produce waste — a lot of it. To stay healthy, the brain needs to wash away all that debris.
