Brickfield Education Labs’ Post

Accessibility benefits every learner not only those who rely on assistive technologies. At #MootGlobal25 we demonstrated how small thoughful design choices can completely transform the learner experience. Features like captions descriptive links and consistent layouts improve access and engagement for all learners not just those who rely on assisstive technology. Our latest blog post unpacks these ideas and shows how the 18 Point Accessibility Skills Framework turns inclusion into action. It also includes practical examples and links to our Accessibility Tip Zine and Tip Cube which make learning about accessibility simple visual and hands-on.

Accessibility is often viewed through the lens of compliance but it is much more than following regulations. At #MootGlobal we shared how accessibility is really about confidence. It is the confidence to design create and share learning materials that everyone can use. When educators understand the reasons behind accessibility inclusion becomes part of their everyday approach to teaching and design. It is not about ticking boxes. It is about improving learning for all. Our latest blog post introduces the 18-Point Accessibility Skills Framework a practical roadmap of accessibility practices that help make learning content inclusive and effective for everyone. You can also download our Accessibility Tip Zine and order the Accessibility Tip Cube two creative resources that make inclusive design easy to apply in everyday practice.

Accessibility isn’t an option — it’s a responsibility. Across the world, many organizations still struggle with one common challenge: their digital documents and websites aren’t built for everyone. Here’s what often goes wrong 👇 ❌ PDFs and websites that screen readers can’t interpret. ❌ Images without alt text, leaving people out of the conversation. ❌ Poor color contrast and complex navigation for users with low vision. ❌ Content that’s not tagged properly — making it invisible to assistive tools. ❌ Teams unaware of accessibility standards (WCAG, ADA, AODA, PDF/UA and EAA). These gaps don’t just create compliance issues — they create barriers for millions of people. The solution isn’t just about fixing documents. It’s about rethinking how we design, publish, and communicate — so every user, everywhere, can access and engage equally. Let’s move from awareness to action — because accessibility means inclusion, opportunity, and human connection. 💙

🔍 Digital accessibility isn’t an afterthought—it’s foundational. In an article from the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) magazine, the call is clear: schools must approach digital tools, classroom content, and communications with accessibility built in from day one. A few key takeaways from the article stand out: Accessibility isn’t just for students with documented needs—it supports every learner, every family, every educator. It’s not optional compliance—it’s about belonging: “Ensuring that every student, family member, and educator feels recognized, valued, and able to fully participate.” Practical actions make a difference: simple audits of websites, alt text for images, captioned videos, keyboard-navigable forms—and making accessibility a school-wide expectation.

Three weeks ago, we launched AudioEye Learning with a simple promise: to make accessibility education clear, practical, and actionable. But what stands out most? The variety of starting points.
