Did you know WCAG doesn’t fully cover Deaf communication needs?

🧠 Most people think “accessibility” means adding captions or alt text.

💻 And yes - WCAG helps with that. It’s a technical guide for creating websites and digital tools that are accessible to people with disabilities.

But here’s the catch:

WCAG focuses on content access - not real-time, human-to-human communication.

So for Deaf people, that means:

❌ No support for sign language interpreting

❌ No real guidance for face-to-face or video conversations

❌ No cultural context or visual-first communication support

That’s where the gap is.

✅ True accessibility = going beyond compliance.

It means ensuring that Deaf people can fully participate, especially in critical settings such as healthcare, education, or legal services.

Let’s move from “accessible content” to “equitable communication.”

Because inclusion isn’t just technical - it’s human.
