Empowering all developers to build without barriers

GitHub has been awarded the 2024 Accessibility at Scale award by Deque Systems for its efforts in implementing accessibility effectively, joining the ranks of previous winners such as Microsoft and Adobe. The company emphasizes the importance of making accessibility a fundamental aspect of engineering and design, aiming to empower developers, particularly those with disabilities, to build technology without barriers. Initiatives at GitHub include integrating accessibility into design through training programs, incorporating accessibility into new features, and fostering an inclusive community for disabled developers. While recognizing the progress made, GitHub acknowledges the ongoing challenges and stresses the need for collaboration across various sectors to achieve true equal access to technology. Notably, GitHub engages the community through projects like the Coding Accessibility video series and discussions on The ReadME Project, inviting feedback and participation to further improve accessibility efforts.
