Zeynep talks "accessibility anxiety” - the panic designers feel when we're expected to get accessibility right but were never actually taught how.

Rather than handing out another dry checklist, she makes the case for reading deeper than the headlines; understanding the reasoning behind guidelines, and trusting the same judgement designers already use everywhere else.

“We must trust our sense of smell that we've trained on all other areas of our work to sniff out this unmistakable stench of "too good to be true.””

Quite simply, this is a talk about why easy answers on accessibility are usually the wrong ones, from those doing it best.
