#a11yHAM Meetup Group | ARRM: A Framework of Ownership for Digital Teams to Get Accessibility Done
February 26, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Join us Friday, February 26, 2021, at 12:00 noon for a lunchtime session with Jennifer Chadwick, Lead Accessibility Strategist for SiteImprove.
Does your digital team have the goal to make your website more accessible and inclusive, but aren’t sure what needs doing, who is doing it or frankly, where to start?
The Accessibility Roles & Responsibilities Mapping (ARRM) methodology is a framework currently in development in the W3C, the standards body that publishes the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). It’s a highly effective, collaborative team exercise for finding solutions to outstanding accessibility issues (related to WCAG as well as best practices) and assigning ownership to those with related skills to fix them – whether it be designers, developers, visual designers, or content authors.
A member of the ARRM Task Force, Jennifer will be sharing how to conduct the ARRM exercise and achieving the outcomes of clarity, ownership, and excitement around removing digital barriers for people with disabilities.
