📢 Something new is coming to Control Alt Access!

I’m excited to announce the upcoming launch of Access Granted, a free monthly newsletter focused on accessibility, assistive technology, and digital inclusion.

Each issue will include:
✅ Practical accessibility tips
✅ Assistive technology news and updates
✅ Tech Club announcements
✅ Free resources and learning opportunities
✅ Insights from my work helping people use technology more independently

Subscribers will receive the first issue before it’s released to the general public.

Accessibility is a journey, not a destination.

A monthly newsletter that covers digital accessibility advice, tech tips, special service offers and other fun stuff.

We'll have to wait for the reality distortion field to dissipate to be sure, but it's clear that AI--sooner rather than later--is going to seriously upset the current balances in the fields of assistive technology training and digital accessibility.

If you're disabled like me, the shift is going to do a lot of good.

If you're an AT trainer and you--unlike me--are not embracing AI and learning how to use it, you will most likely find yourself in the position of being obsolete. Yesterday's WWDC keynote made that abundantly clear.

The video features a static image with text and geometric designs. A neon sign in a yellow and green glow says "A 1960S" inside a border. Below the neon sign, text in a yellow font reads "DIGITAL ACCENT WITH ROSIUDSENI". The background is dark green with several yellow lines forming triangles and squares. Small white dots are scattered throughout the background, resembling stars.

A high-energy song plays throughout the short clip. A group of people sing together in a chorus, "Together on Facebook, accessibility wins! Quality access, equal access for all, thank you for supporting accessibility." The music is upbeat and includes a variety of instruments, creating a celebratory and inclusive atmosphere.

So excited to be doing this again for the right reasons. Today's session was on Apple Wallet, Apple Cash and Apple Pay. We will be deciding August's topic at the end of the session.

One of the skills I hadn't realized I picked up until someone asked me for assistance with it is my ability to prompt AI to get the results I want within the first few tries.

With that in mind, I present a Quickstart guide for prompting AI for accessible results. Stay tuned for my deep dive coming later this month.

A practical quickstart for using AI prompts to create more accessible content.
