Fix-it Clinics
These casual clinics will introduce a variety of accessibility techniques and tools. The first 10 minutes will be a demonstration of some sort, and the rest of the time will be a Q&A period. Recordings of past clinics will be available on this page.
Fix-it Clinics are normally held on the first Wednesday of the month.

Let’s talk about what we learned about accessibility in 2024 and what we’d like to see in 2025. As always, there will be time for accessibility Q&A, so bring your questions.
