Everett Zufelt

Thanks to a tremendous amount of work to improve Core's accessibility throughout the Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 development life cycles, addressing accessibility issues is easier and more manageable than ever before. But there are still considerable gaps to close to ensure a highly usable accessible experience. As the creators of those experiences, the onus is on us to equip ourselves with the skills and know-how to ensure we get there.

Led by Erin Marchak and Everett Zufelt, two of Myplanet's Acquia Certified Grand Masters and accessibility specialists, this session will explore some of the remaining gaps in Drupal 8 accessibility and will demonstrate methods for tackling these issues with your custom D8 themes.

In this session, participants will learn:

  • How to identify accessibility problems with web applications, including manual and automated testing
  • What accessibility issues remain in Drupal 8
  • How to use practical tactics to resolve Drupal 8 accessibility gaps in your custom themes
