Digital accessibility is a key focus and refers to how easy it is for the independent consumption of web and digital media by people with impairments or disabilities. You can find more about GAAD here.

Join this free online panel discussion hosted by CareScribe, where professionals and individuals with lived experience will share practical advice, insights, and guidance to help parents and carers navigate this important stage. The session will also include a live question-and-answer segment, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions directly to the panel. Who should attend?
