Celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) with GSA and explore accessibility with our Accessibility Specialist, Greg Alchin. The 13th GAAD highlights the importance of digital accessibility. This year, we spotlight Greg Alchin, an inclusioneer and disability rights advocate with 30 years of experience in various sectors. Greg's insight into disability, shaped by personal experience and certifications from leaders like Apple and Microsoft, makes him a key voice in accessibility. He shares his journey, explaining that disabilities involve barriers rather than vulnerabilities. It's our assumptions, misconceptions, and design flaws that create limits, not the disability itself. Greg advocates for being "inclusive by design and accessible by default," a principle crucial to digital accessibility. GAAD is a day to reflect, discuss, and learn about digital access and inclusion for over a billion people with disability. Join the conversation and move towards a world where inclusion is universal, and accessibility is a given.
