The @rijksmuseum is using generative #AI to create descriptions of its art collection so vivid you can repaint them in your imagination. I loved watching this inspiring story of how AI is creating a more accessible world for the blind and low vision community. #ArtIsForEveryone

Designing for neurodiversity & cognitive accessibility (a thread) 1. Use a reasonable reading level, grade 8 Aor below 2. Avoid having a lot of content on a page or having content close together with not a lot of white space #AbilitySummit #AbilitySummitAmbassador

Thank you @Microsoft for bringing out the heart of #DisabilityInclusion and #Accessibility at the #AbilitySummit - What a great way to start the day! Disability inclusion benefits everyone. And love the quote that Leila Hanaumi brought up from Nelson Mandela: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.” Yes! Thank you for bringing the party on: @jennylayfluffy @JessicAccess (Miss you Jess!)

I recently started using M365 Co-Pilot and it has been a game changer for my productivity! In just one month, I have refined 223 Copilot-generated emails without having to author a single one from scratch. That's a huge jump from my average of 57 sent emails per month prior to Co-Pilot. The ease of use has resulted in meetings being coordinated 6 days sooner, leading to quicker decisions and more decisions made. It has reduced the time and physical effort required for tasks like email, allowing me to focus on what I was actually hired to do - alignment and decision making. As a professional with Cerebral Palsy, I can say that M365 Co-Pilot has allowed me to be my best professional self. I truly believe that it can help all professionals be their best selves. Don't miss out on this free online event - register now! aka.ms/Ability_es #AbilitySummit
