Member Feedback
This is what our members are saying about the club:
It brought me closer to the people who really care for accessibility. The Accessibility Book Club has been an incredible space to share ideas, learn from passionate individuals, and grow as an advocate for inclusive design. I also connected with Manuel, the author of Web Accessibility Cookbook, and had the prestigious opportunity to professionally review his book and learn his inspiring story. As someone deeply inspired by accessible design—especially with my mother being a teacher for students with special needs—this community holds a special place in my heart. 💙

I love the Accessibility Book Club. The participants bring such good questions, and the Club is so thoughtfully organized. Sometimes we talk about care as a value in disability work in ways that can get unarticulated in the context of more technical work. I found Accessibility Book Club to be a great place for smart conversations done with care about access work. I'm incredibly grateful to have had my book read and discussed by this group. Thank you all!

I joined the Accessibility Book Club because accessibility is something I care deeply about, and I wanted to connect with others who truly 'get it.' It’s a space where I can learn, and be part of a community that shares my passion for making an impact.

I was overwhelmed when I clicked the Zoom link and saw a full screen with faces looking at me. All these people decided to spend time with me and ask questions about my book and accessibility. That’s an experience I will never forget. The Accessibility Book Club is a unique and invaluable initiative I can wholeheartedly recommend.

I recommended the Accessibility Book Club to my daughter, an aspiring UI/UX designer, so she could connect with a community of professionals and access the wealth of knowledge in the books we’re reading. This group isn’t just helping her education—it’s setting her up to be a standout candidate in her future career.
