On Thursday, May 20, 2021, help us celebrate the 10th Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) with your participation.

Register Now at - http://gaadonline.org/event/

The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital access and inclusion, and the more than One Billion people with disabilities/impairments. Like last year we hope to reach audiences across the globe and based on requests from participants we are planning to run the sessions for a longer time frame allowing participants to watch the event in their local time zones.

We cordially invite you to join us for this event and help make this awareness campaign a success by sharing it within your circle of friends, associates, family, colleagues and well-wishers.

GAAD is a worldwide momentum that was started with an objective, to create a platform to raise awareness about accessibility in general, and digital accessibility in particular. Digital accessibility is the ability of a website, mobile application, or electronic document to be easily navigated and understood by a wide range of users, including users who have visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities.

GAAD Online is a joint initiative of Prakat Solutions, EqualGenius Foundation and its Partners. The idea of Global Accessibility Awareness Day started with a single blog post written by a Los Angeles-based web developer, Joe Devon. Jennison Asuncion, an accessibility professional from Toronto, discovered Joe’s blog post purely by accident thanks to randomly coming across a tweet from Joe. The movement in India was led by Mitra Jyothi, a non-profit organization working towards empowering people with disabilities in general and visually impaired in particular and Prakat Solutions - a technology company with a vision to make a huge difference in the world of Accessibility.

Based on the success of the GAAD India 2020 last year which was forced to go "virtual" because of worldwide lockdowns due to the pandemic, the primary organizers decided to join hands with EqualGenius Foundation and many other like-minded organizations around the world to create the GAAD Online platform.

 Looking forward to seeing you at GAAD Online 2021!!!
