E97: What does accessibility mean to you? Part 1 - Juan Olarte
Today was Global Accessibility Awareness Day. I had a great chat with Juan Olarte (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAFDPh0B2rLZUDv0RHRaIm0w0a5g4GEV8cQ) about his work to make digital information (websites and documents) more accessible as well as what National Park Accessibility means to him. Near the end he highlights an event he hosted to mark this important day including a keynote talk from the co-founder of GAAD, Jennison Asuncion.
