Do you use braille?

At our recent Ask Me Anything for Blind Job Seekers, someone asked if braille is important in digital accessibility careers.

The answer? Not required... but for some testers, braille is a real advantage in accuracy and confidence.

Mary Beth, now a Senior Tester, shared:

“I use braille every day. It makes me more accurate when reading code, writing reports, and reviewing remediation steps.”

How Blind People Start Careers In Digital Accessibility

Get your questions answered about interviews, hiring, applications, and resumes.

Get your questions answered about certifications, training programs, and work opportunities.

It doesn’t matter if you’re transitioning into HR, cybersecurity, or health care, launching your career in a new industry is difficult.

The job market is super competitive. And you’re also competing against people who aren’t blind, who don’t have disabilities, and who likely have years of working experience since they graduated college.

So if you’re thinking about starting a career in digital accessibility, you too will need to overcome these hurdles.

However, the first step is getting trained, getting certified, and then gaining the working experience to continue developing your technical skills and abilities.

Who knew hockey could be this much fun off the ice?!

Ellie and Tanner got to try adaptive hockey with the awesome crew at The Dented Puck Foundation during the ACB Conference in Dallas... and yes, goals were definitely scored 😎

Huge thanks to the team for making the space so welcoming and to Marisa for catching the action. Accessibility, fun, and fierce competition all in one!



Video Description:

The video opens at the ACB Conference in Dallas, showing The Dented Puck Foundation's Booths 82 and 83, where a miniature adaptive hockey setup is on display. Their staff is wearing a black T-shirt and a red hat.

Tanner, wearing a white AccessAbility shirt, lines up a shot and scores a goal. Next, Ellie steps up to try the green ball version of the puck. She positions herself, strikes the ball with the stick, and scores.

Tanner returns to the field to try the green ball version and strikes. Throughout the video, the friendly and supportive Dented Puck crew assist and cheer them on. Their voices can be heard in the background.

The video closes with a white screen displaying the “AccessAbility Officer” logo in green, blue, and black text.
