Why Accessibility Isn't a Checkbox — Lessons from a 20-Year Accessibility Leader

What does accessibility actually mean in the workplace, and how can we move from meeting just the basic requirements to creating something that actually works for everyone?

In the latest episode of Access Granted, Mike sits down with Kim Casey, Ablr’s Director of Accessibility, and someone who’s been driving this mission for more than 20 years. 

Kim didn’t set out to work in accessibility—she started in a mailroom reading mail aloud for her blind boss. That job opened a door. And she’s been pushing for meaningful change in how we build digital experiences ever since. 

They talk about the difference between compliance and usability. Why a perfect score on an automated accessibility tool doesn’t always mean your product is accessible for someone using assistive technology. Kim also breaks down what makes Ablr different—the people, the process, and the commitment to seeing the work all the way through.
