In today’s episode, Lois speaks with Mitch Creedy, a digital accessibility consultant from Canada.
Mitch talks about their background in digital accessibility, and the training they received through the Blind Institute of Technology, also called the BIT Academy.
They also refer to the WCAG, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, as a tool that can be used by web developers wishing to make their work more accessible.
The second half of the conversation revolves around the topic of bullying, both experienced within the workplace and in more casual and social interactions, where Mitch unpacks some experiences that they have encountered.
*As a note: this conversation was recorded in December 2023 and, at one stage, Mitch refers to their decision to disengage from social media for a short time. I’m thrilled to let you know that they are back on socials and you can now connect with them there.
