A Quick List of Accessibility Resources

Web Accessibility Wednesday - Bonus Friday Edition!

Just now in James Q Quick's Learn Build Teach Discord, Arkar Myat said he'd like some Web Accessibility resources both general and image specific, so I thought I'd do a post to help others as well.

It's not an exhaustive list! I also haven't given summaries like I usually do. It's more like my dumping my current #A11y brain cache.

Also check out the profiles and blogs of the people and organizations that I've @ Mentioned. They're also great resources.

Hopefully this helps Arkar with his #Svelte task and others with their accessibility learning.
