Lisa ran a session on accessibility last year where she looked at good alt text, using some accessibility testing tools, and getting graphs and graphics right.
This time Lisa is taking more of a look at who is affected and who has accessibility needs (spoiler, it's all of us). This will help you understand a bit more about some of the statistics, the people behind the statistics, and what that might mean to help justify our recommendations when stakeholders say: "I don't think there's anyone who needs that here".
