(Accessibility Myths, shared by Smashing Magazine)

Sergei Kriger debunks 22 myths about accessibility on the web, such as accessibility only being for blind users. I’ve not heard of all of these myths, so some items were added just in keeping with the format, I think, but it’s worth a quick read nonetheless, and as prompted at the end of the page, you’re encouraged to “show this website to your manager”.

Also see its sister website, a11yfacts.com, for a list of statistics on disabilities (e.g. 15% of the world’s population has a disability) and how certain demographics use the web (e.g. 67.7% of screen reader users use headings for navigating).

Prefer longer newsletters? You can subscribe to week11y, fortnight11y or even month11y updates! Every newsletter gets the same content; it is your choice to have short, regular emails or longer, less frequent ones. Curated with ♥ by developer @ChrisBAshton.
