Happy 10th annual #GAAD! Using plain language is a great way to make your content more inclusive and accessible. It's not dumbing down, but opening up! https://t.co/ck3Z6Wp7gJ

ProPublica's plain language experiment is a first for a mainstream news organization. Disability experts say it shouldn't be the last.

Accessibility is a goal, not a target. And the outcome is usability for people with disabilities, not just compliance. #a11yTOConf @gradualclearing @katekalcevich
