Posted on
This resource is the text of a 15 minute talk by Lainey Feingold about Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech. The main message? We’ve made so much progress in digital accessibility over the past 30 years. We now have laws across the globe advancing accessibility, more people working on it, and significant resources, and more. But it is not enough. Legal compliance is not enough. We need a new tool and the digital accessibility ethics book offers that tool – the Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework. It is values driven, it is actionable, and the 39 authors of the book believe it can help close the unacceptable digital accessibility gap. Read more… Why Digital Accessibility?

Judging a Book by its Cover

Posted on Updated on December 21, 2021
This post is about the hexagons on the cover of my book — Structured Negotiation: a Winning Alternative to Lawsuits. The hexagons were prominent in the first edition of the book, published by the American Bar Association (ABA) in 2016. They are in the background of the second edition, published in October 2021. Hexagons are the perfect symbol for a book about cooperation, trust, and resolving legal claims without the conflict, expense and stress of traditional litigation.

Gratitude for a Poached Egg (an Accessibility and Negotiation Strategy)

Posted on
Whenever I travel, I try to eat in local restaurants serving traditional foods. That’s how I found myself at 417 Union in Nashville last month eating poached eggs, grits and a biscuit. The eggs were perfect and I asked the waitress to thank the cook for me. She came back later and told me: “His day is going to go a lot better now that he knows he done good.” Her comment sums up my experience as a negotiator in the digital accessibility space. Everyone wants to know they have “done good.” Telling them so is a powerful negotiating strategy. Read more… Gratitude for a Poached Egg (an Accessibility and Negotiation Strategy)
