Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is an international initiative focused on raising awareness about digital accessibility and the experiences of people with disabilities who use digital content, tools, and technologies.
GAAD encourages individuals and organizations to learn about accessibility, reflect on current practices, and take steps toward creating usable and accessible digital resources. While recognized annually, accessibility is an ongoing responsibility that supports equal access to information, services, and learning environments.
To learn more about its mission and access resources, visit the official Global Accessibility Awareness Day website .
