We’ll discuss an essential topic for anyone involved in software development: accessibility and the upcoming European Accessibility Act.

Listen in as accessibility advocate and testing expert Laveena Ramchandani unpacks what’s coming with the new legislation and why building inclusive digital products can’t wait for the law to catch up.

Discover:

How to think more accessibly – Spot potential barriers and adopt an inclusive mindset. How to test for accessibility – Use keyboard navigation, browser extensions, automated tests, and assistive tech. How to help teams create accessible content – Apply the social model of accessibility, annotate designs, and follow WCAG guidelines. 

Whether you develop, design, test, or lead software teams, especially if you serve European customers, this episode will get you up to speed on the what, why, and how of making your products accessible to all, and help you get ahead of compliance before June 2025 arrives.
