My name is Katherine Shaw and I am a front end web developer at Promet Source. I'd like to start by sharing a little bit of my background, as it has helped me to understand why accessibility, on the web and in the world around us, is such an important issue. I am an advocate for web accessibility and in today's blog, I'll be sharing how I became so passionate about implementing ADA Section 508 best practices into my work as a developer, which all began when I was working for local government.
