1. Erin Perkins shared her experiences as a deaf-blind person navigating the online world.

• Importance of accessibility beyond just websites.
• Current technology (and Ai) helps her stay connected.

2. Erin interpreted SEO as writing content in a way it can be easily found on search engines.

• Benefits of alt text and image descriptions.
• Avoid strung together keywords that make no sense.

3. Erin discussed her difficulties with platforms like Pinterest and Instagram due to their limited accessibility features.

• Platforms often don't consider accessibility during its initial stages.
• Accessibility can be costly to fix.

4. How to use SEO elements for better accessibility:

• Use header tags (H1, H2, H3) correctly for proper website structuring and better accessibility. 
• Not doing so can make it difficult for screen reader users who skim headers for context.
