Lainey Feingold’s reputation as a knowledgeable and interesting speaker on the topic of accessibility preceded her as the guest of honor at Durham-Raleigh A11y’s first birthday celebration.  However, while working with her in preparation for this event, I learned what makes Lainey a truly wonderful speaker, and what underpins the entire Digital Accessibility Ethics framework: her authenticity, compassion, and integrity.  Lainey cares about the individual people for whom the Digital Accessibility Ethics framework exists and this radiates from her.  The book is pivotal.  I recommend it regularly to folks from a variety of professions.  If you have the opportunity for Lainey, or for any of the book’s other authors or editors to host a discussion about Digital Accessibility Ethics, take it!  Lainey led one of the most captivating and thought-provoking discussions I have attended. Our group loved it.

Lainey Feingold’s session delivered an invaluable masterclass in moving digital accessibility beyond standard legal compliance and anchoring it as a foundational ethical imperative. The emphasis on embedding disability inclusion directly into every stage of the technology lifecycle has already reshaped how Disability:IN DC Metro advises our regional corporate partners on accessible procurement and digital governance. It is an indispensable, pragmatic roadmap that equips enterprise leaders to champion human dignity and sustainable equity across everything they build.

Eduardo Meza Etienne, Chief Accessibility Officer, Disability:IN DC Metro

Even more exciting was having the opportunity to participate in Lainey’s and Derek Shields very first workshop on Accessibility Ethics. It was an inspiring experience filled with meaningful conversations about inclusion, accessibility, and the future of ethical digital experiences.
