I'm probably posting this in the wrong location but this was the closest forum I could find.
I want to make an appeal to Microsoft's Accessibillity champions to run some internal training for the folk that prepare Microsoft's web page content and promotional emails. Please teach them how to write effective link text rather than using 'click here' .

Contextual text links have been a Web Content Accessibilty Guidelines (WCAG) requirement for a very long time now. And giving users an instruction to click something is not inclusive; mobile users tap, keyboard users press enter, etc
I'm trying to get my content authors to do the right thing, but while ever content provided by a leading organisation like Microsoft doesn't model best practice, my people don't listen to me.
You're doing such great work in other areas of accessibility, so I hope you can fit this into your workplan

Microsoft has moved to a icon/picture based tool system that is like Chinese to many of us. Why can't we have text discriptions under the icons? I learned to read when I was 4 so I could stop looking at pictures. Now, my damaged brain does not interpret pictures. What is that icon that looks like an old school building? What are 3 horizontal bars? What is the circle with a line off the side? Is it the symbol for No gender? Can I get rid of the styles box? It is distracting my eyes as I look for the tool I need.
What are we supposed to do when we MUST use Win 10? I can't find anything in Win 10.
Where are my documents I save in Word when I open File Explorer. I look in Documents and find some but not others but I can find them in Word?
Stop fixing things until they are broken.

Disability Answering Desk is wonderful, but Microsoft engineers probably don’t care about PWD. Every time when Microsoft upgrade new version for many of us everything is so none accessible that we need to call DAD every day beg for help.
You just implement new upgrade and now many pages are out of normal size of screen. No matter what I did decrease or increase screen it doesn’t help and DAD wonderful people don’t know a solution!

I attached just few print screens, but I can show you much more. You have still Ronaldo and few others who try very hard to find a solution, but how about engenderers! Do you know about ADA –the law that all PWD have the same rights to access as non-disabled people?
Thank you

First, kudos to you on making technologies accessible to all. Learning Tools are awsome. Please keep working on making all tecnologies fully accessible to people with different types of disabilities. You are doing a great job, but you can always do better 😊.

Here are some suggestions related to your post Microsoft + Made by Dyslexia: Helping students with dyslexia with technology. In this post  there is a confusing reference to the definition of dyslexia. "These students whose language based learning difference causes a deficiency with phonological processing when learning to read, are often mistakenly labeled as having a learning disability." I want to point out that according to the definition of learning disabilities by Learning Disabilities Association of America https://ldaamerica.org/ - DYSLEXIA IS A LEARNING DISABILITY.

Please consider:
1. Clarifying which definition of dyslexia was used in this post to avoid any misinterpretations;
2. Avoiding negative stereotypes of disability: By stating that dyslexia is not a learning disability it seems that a sterotypical message is being reinforced that a learning dissbility is something negative and bad, worse than dyslexia. Disability, like ***, gender, race, is neutral in itself, and only our attitudes and social construction of it make it negative. The stigma attached to disability is due to our social construction of disability as something negative, broken, to be fixed, deserving of our help. Disability is an absolutely normal and integral part of human diversity. Persons with disabilities have equal rights to access all aspects of life, and accessible technologies are instrumental in facilitating that access.

Thank you for your contribution to making our world more accessible to all but please keep in mind that accessibility is not only removing physical, financial and technological barriers, it is also about removing social barriers, changing negative attitudes and busting myths about disability. And words do matter.

Keep on with your good work.
