Why should I be using it?

Why was a new model needed?

  • The old (reactive) model of remediation is ineffective.
    • Accessibility checkers typically provide a laundry list of problems that need to be fixed.
    • Going through the list and “fixing” the problems typically does not provide learning experiences that help people better understand accessibility.
    • It's too easy to forget (or skip) that last step of running the accessibility checker.
  • Because “timing is everything!”
    • For example, the best time to add alt. text for an image is when its purpose is clear and you can more easily answer the question: “What information does this image provide in this particular context?”
