You probably have acronyms and standards at your work. At first, they might have been confusing, but after a while, they become second nature and help you become more of an expert in your field.
Digital accessibility has acronyms, standards, and governing bodies too.
The goal is for your to start getting familiar with the accessibility environment. It's not to memorize it all.
Understanding some of the digital accessibility environment helps you:
- Research accessibility topics on your own.
- Talk about it in web accessibility communities.
- Understand web accessibility’s governing bodies and standards.
- Feel confident our other accessibility topic courses are based on standards.
