Something I picked up a couple years ago, I used to define accessibility as being this very complicated thing, about making content accessible to people with disabilities, and people that are aging, and then there were all these other things that came into play, but ultimately what I realized that it boils down to content being usable by anyone, regardless of the device that they use.
There’s many variations on the definition of, “What exactly is web accessibility?” So how would you define that?ĭenis: I like to define it with a very simple statement, which is that content needs to be usable by anyone on any device. So, we’re talking about web accessibility primarily today. Yeah, I guess more than 15 years ago, my skills are better now, but there’s still room for improvement for sure.
Nicolas: That’s got to keep you busy, three kids? You must have developed a good sense of organization to survive that?ĭenis: You would expect. ‘Cause he ended up playing Game of Thrones, among other things. As a matter of fact, my oldest son went to a summer camp last week, and we went to a concert last Sunday, which was really great. To get started, tell me one thing that most people don’t know about you.ĭenis: I don’t tend to be someone who talks about his personal life much, so people may not know that I have three kids, aged 15, 13, and 9, who are very much into music. I’ve been working in Accessibility for about 17 years, doing mostly consulting, and training, and strategy with different clients, and that’s about it. Nicolas: I like to let guests introduce themselves, so in a brief elevator pitch introduction, who is Denis Boudreau?ĭenis: Well, my name’s Denis. Good morning, Denis! Thanks for joining me with this conversation around web accessibility. Denis is a good friend, that I’ve known for several years and I wanted to know and understand a bit more about his perceptions and philosophies about accessibility. Today, we’re talking with Denis Boudreau. I’m Nic Steenhout, and I talk with people involved, in way or another with web accessibility. Welcome, this is the Accessibility Rules Podcast. Nicolas: Support for the Accessibility Rules Podcast comes from people like you.
