  35. What can we do?

  36. Don’t use Flash. It isn’t working on most mobiles. It

    isn’t „working“ on most PCs either. It can be made accessible on Windows and IE only.

  37. POSH5 & POUR

  38. POSH5 & POUR Plain Old Simple HTML5

  39. POSH5 & POUR Plain Old Simple HTML5 Perceivable, Operable, Understandable,

    Robust

  40. POSH5 Use the best HTML5 Element available for the task

    at hand.

  41. HTML5 Includes many accessibility features (although others claim otherwise). It

    is not the spec to look to when searching for web accessibility techniques.

  42. WCAG2 Is the spec for accessible web content. Provides an

    exhaustive list of techniques to make web content accessible.
