About This Guided Tour

This guided tour takes you through the Aiming for ALL Collection. It explains the goal of the collection and shows you how to use it.

This tour is one more way into the collection. It does not cover accessibility in full.

When you are ready to learn more about accessibility itself, Pathway 5: No-Cost Courses (opens in a new tab) lists the no-cost online accessibility courses I recommend, and course hubs where you will find many more. Its guide, Which Course Is Right for You? (opens in a new tab), helps you choose.

A Guiding Idea

Accessibility is about progress, not perfection.

You do not need to know everything before you start. When you find a barrier and reduce it, that counts.

Meryl K. Evans, a CPACC-certified accessibility consultant and TEDx speaker who was born profoundly deaf, calls this approach progress over perfection. Read her blog post, Progress Over Perfection: The Better Way for Communication and Accessibility Advocacy (opens in a new tab).
