In this episode, I chat “accessibility” vs. “Accessibility” with Lindsay Foster. She will open your eyes to what it means to make sure our content is “Accessible”. This conversation really opened my eyes and made me rethink how I do what I do. This is a powerful conversation that needs to heard by anyone who creates or delivers content or curriculum. Please check it out and put these practices into play. Buen provecho!
