Thread: Too many #a11y specialists understand WCAG but don’t understand how conformance issues may/may not impact people with disabilities (PwD). I’ve reviewed many complaints of WCAG violations that either don’t impact PwD or only cause minor inconveniences. Automated #accessibility tools are great resources but too often results are misunderstood &/or not verified for accuracy. These results are then given to product owners who spend valuable time & resources trying to fix minor/non-issues instead of focusing on truly serious ones.
