Accessibility in my work and this site
Accessibility is a core part of how I design learning, conduct research, and build this portfolio. It is informed by my doctoral work on online learning with students with acquired brain injuries and by lived experience with disability. The goal is simple. Make it easier for more people to participate, understand, and contribute.
How this site supports accessibility
- Keyboard friendly navigation and forms with clear focus indicators and no keyboard traps.
- High contrast text and simple layouts that work across devices and zoom levels.
- Decorative images and line art properly hidden from assistive technologies so screen readers do not announce meaningless graphics.
- Word and HTML portfolio documents structured with headings, lists, and tables that support screen reader and keyboard use.
Accessibility in my learning and research work
In projects, accessibility shows up in how we choose formats, pace, and interaction patterns. It is part of how we write instructions and feedback. It is part of how we involve disabled people in design decisions. It is not something added at the end. It shapes how we think about the work from the start.
