In October, Yale observes Disability Awareness Month (nationally celebrated as National Disability Employment Awareness Month) to recognize disabled people’s talents and skills. We invite you to join us for a review of how the YaleSites platform and Yale Design System have included people with disabilities in the software development lifecycle. We will talk about our core principles of the project, the concept of shift left, including disabled people in user testing with Fable, and how you can add automated e2e accessibility testing to your software projects.
