Accessibility Toronto has started a series this year where its members will be able to get (re)introduced to accessibility. Its first meet-up of the year offered two 20 minute talks, one a brief overview of accessibility and the other a discussion of how to implement accessibility as a practice.
I presented the second talk. I spoke for about 25 minutes (I sometimes run over, it seems) discussing how, from a process perspective, you can work to bring accessibility into your organization. I have embedded my slides below.
If the embedded slides don’t show for you, then you can get to them directly at SlideShare or download the PowerPoint file.
Tweets
I captured some of the tweets from the event.

Be proactive. Give someone the authority to implement accessibility strategy in org. Build cross-departmental team. – @aardrian at #a11yTO pic.twitter.com/f7VqPAy6og

@aardrian @jdee I enjoyed both talks tonight. As a new developer I'm keen to have my code and the sites I build accessible for all.
