We use a lot of our own documentation, tools, and resources at TetraLogical, so we thought it was time to share them in our new Resources section on the site: tetralogical.com/resources/ This paves the way for an upcoming release for anyone tired of rebuilding the basics from scratch. Stay tuned!

In order for a fire to be sustainable, it needs fuel, oxygen, and heat. In order for accessibility to be sustainable, it needs: compliance, culture, and capability. Craig Abbott explains why in "Sustainable accessibility: compliance, culture, and capability" tetralogical.com/blog/2026/09...

Against Doomerism
There's a certain strain of commentator who is just sure that nothing can ever get better. In amongst all the hullaballoo about the UK potentially banning under 16s from social media, I saw a prominent historian say: i assume banning kids from social media will be accompanied by a huge investment in teen-friendly communtiy [sic] spaces (like youth clubs) and social activities? No? Huh. But,…

On the right-hand side of the image, the title reads “Accessibility training” in yellow font followed by “that works with delivery, not against it” in white font. 

The left-hand side has the TetraLogical logo in the top corner with the Knowledge icon below: two people, each made up of a circle for a head and a semicircle for a body. One is bright pink and the other bright purple, above them is a speech bubble with an orange spark of a shared idea inside

A lot of #accessibility annotation kits rely on designers having a technical understanding of semantic roles, landmarks, autocomplete values etc. Lots of Frontend Devs don’t even understand that stuff. As a designer, you just need to be able to articulate the expected outcome for a user.
