Scaling accessibility within GitHub and beyond

"Nothing about us without us" is a guiding principle in the disability community, emphasizing the need for active participation by people with disabilities in decisions affecting their lives, particularly in technology development. GitHub highlights this by showcasing the contributions of blind developers Jamie Teh and Michael “Mick” Curran, who have built influential communities and open-source software for the blind. GitHub supports accessibility through company-wide training, the Engineering Fundamentals program, the Accessibility Design Bootcamp, and the Accessibility Champions program, all aimed at fostering an inclusive culture. The open-source Primer design system further integrates accessibility into GitHub's platform. The company is committed to continually adapting to enhance accessibility as it evolves, inviting ongoing feedback and engagement from its community.
