About me

I'm a Disability Arts Consultant, blogger and fight for Disabled and Deaf digital rights. Pesky People raises the profile of inaccessibility on the web and the lack of proper access by Disabled and Deaf people on the web. This includes

> highlighting the need for full access to all digital content
> complain to web providers, private and voluntary sector companies to get it right (using social networking)
> take up digital access issues
> offer plain english advice to organisations and companies on how to make your service, conference or website really work for disabled and deaf people.
> offer by our experience – we are not technical experts but a team disabled and deaf people with a lifetime of experience of Disability and Deaf issues, working in arts, events, cultural and community developments

Digital access is a human right issue (UN 2006). Only 1% of websites are fully accessible.
