What is GAAD ?

GAAD stands for Global Accessibility Awareness Day, an annual event dedicated to accessibility.

According to the official website, "the purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access and inclusion, and the more than One Billion people with disabilities/impairments[1]".

Generally speaking, we have a terrible score on automated benchmarks. Here is an exemple on AudioEye:
