3. Publishers and developers committed to exceeding minimum standards“We have opinions – good and bad – about how accessibility requirements are progressing in the US, Canada, and the European Union,” Snyder states. He’s particularly keen to address the tendency of some publishers to aim for minimum certification rather than focusing on user experience.
