CTCAccess (belated) March/April Newsletter

Apologies for the delay - it has been a chaotic couple of months. I hope this newsletter finds you well and your Spring quarter has begun with a smooth start!


The goal of this listserv is to share accessibility related announcements, events, tips/tricks, resources, and success stories to those interested (no matter your role). A newsletter will be sent to members of the listserv monthly. This newsletter is a digest of posts from the shiny, newish AccessWA blog<http://accesswa.blog>.

Combine the dramatically changing weather with the weekly jaunt to another time zone/state/county, and, if you're like me, you celebrate coming out at the end of it all having not lost a phone charger, your favorite sweatshirt, or your sanity (or all three). So, in hopes of rooting myself back into my ... Continue reading<https://accesswa.blog/2018/04/11/a-whirlwind-tour-of-a11y-conferences/>
