Accessibility Craft Podcast

Is your website at risk from your own content team? In this episode of Accessibility Craft, we unpack a surprising legal development in accessibility lawsuits and explore a growing concern for organizations: how content creators, not just developers, can introduce accessibility issues and legal exposure. Along the way, the team debates governance, training, and permissions in WordPress, and how to future-proof your site in an AI-driven world. 

In this episode of Accessibility Craft, the team dives into the high-stakes world of digital accessibility compliance as the ADA deadline for state and local governments rapidly approaches. With the April 24th cutoff looming for larger jurisdictions, the discussion centers on the massive challenge of remediating public documents, specifically public meeting agendas and minutes. They explore how traditional PDF workflows often create barriers for users with disabilities as the norm and not the exception, and discuss why some are choosing to pull information offline rather than face the complexities of remediation.

In this episode, the team explores a startling trend surfacing in 2026: a massive spike in pro se accessibility lawsuits fueled by artificial intelligence. While AI tools have helped democratize knowledge and skills in some ways, they are now being used to automate legal filings against businesses for ADA Title III violations, often with hallucinated case citations and “legal slop” that creates chaos in the courts. Our hosts discuss whether this automated legal wave helps hold businesses accountable or if this emerging trend will ultimately damage the accessibility movement.
