Hi Reader.

Big news from Pedal Point HQ: I’ve officially transitioned to doing digital accessibility work full time! I've dreamed of striking out with Pedal Point like this for years, and now that it's happened, I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm awake.

It’s an absolute blast to have the freedom to focus all my energy on teaching, equipping, and collaborating with people to make the web a more inclusive place. Whether I’m engaging clients, delivering trainings, or rolling up my sleeves to fix barriers, this work has never felt more meaningful — or more fun.

If you’ve been wondering how to make your website more accessible, I’d love to help. Let’s connect!

Speaking at Woburn Connect

I'm super excited to present about growing your audience with an accessible website at the next Woburn Connect event. If you're in the Boston area, I hope you'll join me for this high-energy gathering hosted by the Woburn Chamber of Commerce.

The WebAIM Million: Then and Now

The web is slowly getting more accessible—but not fast enough. Each year, WebAIM scans one million home pages for accessibility issues. I’ve pulled the biggest insights from the 2024 and 2025 reports so you can see what’s improving, what’s not, and what it means for your website.

Accessibility around the web

• ​Pledge for Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) 2025 - Equalize Digital​
  GAAD 2025 is coming up fast. Join the fine folks at Equalize Digital in celebrating by pledging your time to improve accessibility in WordPress. Whether you’re a developer, designer, content creator, or site owner, your skills can help make the internet more usable for millions of people with disabilities. Even one small fix—like adding alt text, fixing heading levels, or improving keyboard navigation—can make a big difference.
