Subject: [nfbcs] Digital Accessibility

Hello All:
               My name is Michael Ausbun, and I am currently embarking in a career where the primary job-duties regard digital accessibility compliance and evaluation. Three years ago, my team used a combination of manual screen reader testing and a WAVE generated report. Since it has been a few years, I thought I'd ask my Federation family a few questions:

  1.  Are their any accessibility tools that are fully accessible, comparable to WAVE?
  2.  Has anyone used ANDI for an automated tool?
  3.  Are their list serves specifically for digital accessibility (likely run by webaim, W3C, or other entities)?
I appreciate any advice, assistance, or hints anyone would be willing to share. Getting back in the groove of things can be difficult sometimes; but I know with the lived experience of my Federation family, I am not alone in this journey.
Respectfully,
Michael
