Thursday, May 19, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). The purpose of GAAD is to get those who create digital content (websites, online courses, digital materials, online documents, software, mobile apps, media, etc.) thinking and learning about making digital technology accessible and inclusive to people with varying abilities.
