April 2023 Edition of Inside Equal Access

April is our geek squad edition - Doug and I are nerding out on our favorite things to watch, attend, and use in the ACCESSIBILITY + TECHNOLOGY world. This is a light issue focused on getting you caught up on progress so you can keep enfolding accessibility into everything you do.

So, bookmark the recordings to listen to the next time you're taking a walk, waiting in line somewhere, or doing housework. And save our "Accessibility Tools Roundup" article too - we'll help you skip reviewing and googling all that's out there.

We'll see you all again in the fall. Good luck closing out the semester, Flashes Family!
