What does it mean to build digital content that everyone can use, and how do you design for the many ways people perceive it?
In the latest episode of Access Granted, Mike sits down with our training specialist, Shannon Garner, who leads Ablr’s Accessibility Analyst Training Program. Shannon shares her story of losing sight at age six, clears up common misconceptions about blindness and braille, and shows how assistive technologies like screen readers only work when content is created accessible from the start.
You’ll hear practical guidance you can apply: why contrast matters, how headings and keyboard navigation guide the experience, and what POUR (perceivable, operable, understandable, robust) looks like in everyday design. Shannon also walks through our growing training cohorts, what candidates learn on the path to CPAC certification, and how our team supports both job-seekers and employers to make inclusive hiring stick.
If you want clarity on what accessibility means in practice, this conversation is for you. You’ll leave with a sharper lens for building usable content, a better understanding of assistive tech, and a roadmap for creating opportunities for talent that’s too often overlooked.
