WebAIM: Decoding WCAG: “Change of Context” and “Change of Content”
WebAIM: Decoding WCAG: “Change of Context” and “Change of Content”
WCAG defines changes of context as “major changes that, if made without user awareness, can disorient users who are not able to view the entire page simultaneously.” The most common examples are changing focus or creating a popup window.
In my experience, many changes of content are mistaken for changes of context.

Literally all PDFs should be web pages instead.
100% agree!
First alphabetically and first in importance is the HTML <a> element. The <a> element is what makes the World Wide Web a Web that is both Worldly and Wide. It puts the dub, the dub, AND the dub in the dub dub dub.

This is a shout out to David MacDonald, who while absent of late due to family responsibilities, has been a constant presence in the W3C WAI working groups and contributing to accessibility web standards for many a year.

The 10th annual Disability Equality Index shows disability inclusion progress, but reporting gaps remain
The 10th annual Disability Equality Index shows disability inclusion progress, but reporting gaps remain
Interesting context for the Disability:IN index.
While one-quarter of the US workforce has a disability or health condition, according to BCG, the index found that just 4% of employees at participating companies identify as having a disability. That number has changed little since 2019, when 3.7% identified as disabled.
Dell, for example, received a perfect score, even though its RTO policy precludes remote workers from receiving promotions, which advocates say could hurt disability inclusion efforts.
When asked about these discrepancies, Jill Houghton, CEO of Disability:IN, told HR Brew that lawsuits are not factored into scores, “because the benchmark is designed to assess and promote the presence of inclusive workplace policies and practices.”
Kinda a weak comment, if you ask me.
“The big thing that they should do is pivot from a self-reporting technique to a more holistic, well-rounded, complete reporting style where they give testimonies from their disabled employees,” Petersen told HR Brew. Otherwise, he said, the index feels more like “inclusion washing, where it’s a label saying that they’re inclusive to disabilities, but the label doesn’t nearly tell the full story.”
THIS!
Disability:IN consistently suggests that companies are making progress towards disability inclusion, but the reporting gaps leave room for questions, and disabled talent still face barriers to success.

Übergangsfristen für Onlineshops?
Übergangsfristen für Onlineshops?
Barrierefreies und zukunftssicheres E-Commerce-Wissen für Ihre Webshops
Übergangszeit existiert nach meiner Interpretation nicht, sodass für Sie der Stichtag 28.6.2025 gilt
Referent und Jurist Sven Niklas die entscheidenden Sätze: „Websites und Apps werden nicht als Produkte aufgezählt“ und „Websites und Apps haben diese Fristen nicht“
Online-Shops haben keine Übergangsfristen und müssen bis zum 28.5.2025 barrierefrei sein, um dem Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz zu entsprechen.

„Überwachungsstelle des Bundes für Barrierefreiheit (BFIT)“ und „Bundesfachstelle Barrierefreiheit“ [klingen] ziemlich ähnlich[, …] die Aufgaben der Stellen [sind] jedoch grundverschieden.
Die Überwachungsstelle des Bundes für Barrierefreiheit in der IT“ ist eine Organisation, die Webauftritte und digitale Infrastrukturen des Bundes auf die Einhaltung der Barrierefreiheitsanforderungen (formuliert in der BITV 2.0) überwacht.
Die Mission der Bundesfachstelle Barrierefreiheit ist dagegen ungleich größer: Sie ist als Wissensstelle zum Thema Barrierefreiheit allgemein konzipiert (also nicht auf digitale beschränkt). Ihre Zielgruppe sind dabei Behörden und Verwaltungen, aber auch eine Beratung des privaten Sektors ist möglich.
Keine der genannten Behörden ist zudem für die Überwachung des BFSG zuständig. Als Kontrollinstanzen für Barrierefreiheits- und Informationsvorschriften sind hier von den Schöpfer*innen des BFSG so genannte Marktüberwachungsbehörden vorgesehen.
