Accessibility in Drupal Is My Jam: Practical Use of Accessibility Tools in Drupal

Session Category Theming, Design, & Usability Room 162 Audience All Attendees Time Slot Sat 1:00pm to 1:45pm (2/19/22)

I love making things accessible and I love Drupal. When Drupal 8 was released, I was giddy with excitement because it was obvious that accessibility was in-mind from the beginning, and Drupal 9 was even better!

In my blog How Cool Accessibility Tools Can Make Your Life Easier, I briefly discussed several core and contributed Drupal features and modules that are available to help in making your website more accessible.

In this talk, I'll walk through and demo the following with the end goal of making your life easier, and your user's experience in gathering content more meaningful:

  • Core themes (specifically Olivero and Claro)
  • Core features and modules
  • Contributed modules

Plus I’ll have a Florida Playlist to start out my presentation as you walk into the serenity that is my room at the most awesome Florida Drupal Camp! Join me won’t you? The playlist can be found at https://t.co/cS4BtSZLXQ
