Hi All,

Thanks so much for the encouraging comments about my Hack Day. I am
planning to provide a list of accessibility resources to distribute at
a programming event. Here are the resources I have so far. If anyone
with a better understanding than me wants to vet them or tell me if
you have any other resources that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Amy
