Video
Above, the video opens at the start of my talk. However, I definitely
recommend watching Maya
Gans’ talk, A11Y in R:
Adapting Sarah L. Fossheim’s 10 dos and don’ts to keep in mind when
designing accessible data visualizations, as well.
If you view the video on YouTube,
Rachael Dempsy (our
wonderful host and moderator) has added links to resources and R
packages mentioned in the discussion.
Slides
You can see the slides (embedded, below) on their own here (which should be the most accessible
version).
The source code for the slides is available in this GitHub repo, which also contains the slides in
PDF format.
More working examples can also be found in my accessible-highcharter
GitHub repo.
