A large number of people are unable to use the web effectively due to an impairment or disability.
As developers there are several tools and techniques we can use to make our web applications accessible, ensuring a great user experience that includes everyone.
We all agree that Accessibility is important. However, it’s a broad landscape and can be overwhelming figuring out where to start!
Erin Doyle is an expert in creating accessible React applications and has developed a course that will give you a concrete process for testing, refactoring, and building your applications with accessibility in mind.
After this course, you'll have a jump start on auditing and fixing accessibility issues in your applications and gain a better understanding of your target users and how to approach your web app design from their perspectives.

Learner Reviews
- Fred Collman4 years agoWhat would make this collection a 7 for you?
Overall really good course, and there are some cheap takeaways to help improve some of the React apps I'm working on. I particularly appreciated the clarification of which bits were React-specific vs general web a11y.
I'm a Linux user, and quite a bit was Mac-centric. Some mention of JAWS/NVDA/...Orca(?) would be helpful. Do they all behave more-or-less "the same", are there common issues to look out for when testing across platforms? (like the point about how high contrast behaves differently on Mac vs Windows)
