Education & Discussions about web accessibility

Sometimes, what you’re building doesn’t have an already-available accessible pattern on the web. In cases like these, it can be helpful to consult someone who works day-to-day in the accessibility field in order to save yourself the pain of having to figure it out all on your own. Here are a few resources you may find helpful.

The WebAIM mailing list

The WebAIM mailing list is a long-running community forum for everyone who wants to grow in their accessibility journey, from beginner to expert. The archives span decades, and are available for everyone to search. List members are very friendly and always willing to help you in finding solutions to your issue.

Slack channels

• The main WordPress #accessibility Slack channel. You must have or create an account for WordPress.org first, to be able to join.
• A11y Slack account. A space to ask questions, help other people figure stuff out or chat about accessibility in general. Members can invite others.
