We discuss what ABLR is, how the accredited training program works, and why digital accessibility testing is a strong career path for blind and visually impaired individuals. Mike shares insight into the program\u2019s structure, its impact on the blind community, and real success stories from graduates. Heather offers a firsthand look at her experience\u2014what she expected, the challenges she faced, and why the program exceeded her expectations. We also talk honestly about the program\u2019s difficulty and how determination and hard work can lead to real career opportunities.
