Prolixity: excessively verbose writing.

And verbose, dense writing has occasionally created a barrier to understanding APCA, the accessible and perceptually uniform contrast method.

To make it easier, we've pared things down to bare essentials and placed them in a linktree.

At the top is the "APCA Easy Intro" a brief, plain language introduction to accessible contrast for design.

Is there an easy way for not-for-profits and micro-businesses to check documents for accessibility, particularly dementia and dyslexia accessibility requirements?
I'm designing leaflets and booklets on volunteer hours for public-good activities and want to ensure they're as accessible as possible.

If you have a message to deliver regarding photosensitivity in a visual medium, maximize the space available to you to alert the viewer, and leave it up at least three times longer than it takes to read it. Leave it up through all the opening credits, if possible. People don't care nearly as much about who stars in something they are watching as they do about if what they are watching will cause them a seizure.

Are you a Business Analyst, or Scrum Master, or some other role on a team who makes decisions about whether or not accessibility issues should be in the backlog?

Is there an accessibility specialist on the team who is telling you that items should be in the backlog, but you’re telling them that YOU DON’T THINK that they can go into the primary release because they “weren’t in the design”?

Newsflash. The design wasn’t accessible. Do your job: LISTEN.
