May 16, 2024 is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)!

On May 16, 2024, we celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)—a day dedicated to promoting digital accessibility and inclusion for the over 1 billion people worldwide living with disabilities.

GAAD is about taking a step back to recognise the importance of making technology accessible to everyone. It's a call to action for tech professionals, designers, developers, and organisations to prioritise inclusivity in their digital products and services.

Accessibility is not a feature; it's a right. 

Accessibility compliance shouldn’t be a by-the-book box ticking exercise, but a fundamental understanding of what obstacles people might encounter and how to communicate and inform via text, media and data in formats accessible for everyone.

At Sparks Interactive we aim to ensure that our websites, applications, and digital tools are usable by people with varying abilities. Accessible design is essential for fostering a more inclusive and equitable digital world, and the Sector Drupal Distribution is built with accessibility in mind.

Talk to us about a demo today!

Feedback on how we can make Sector even better is always welcome. Join the conversation on Drupal.org
