== The problem ==
Accessibility is an important aspect to our mission as it empowers users with disabilities to access the knowledge that is available on Wikipedia. Many developers don't know how to implement or test for accessibility.
Nearly 70% of mobile users that rely on Accessibility features, use iOS devices. Xcode and iOS provide several powerful tools for both implementing and testing accessibility for both native apps and websites.
== Expected outcome ==
Demonstrate how to enable accessibility features of iOS devices for testing
Demonstrate how to use developer tools to audit accessibility of native apps and web sites
Discus prioritizing Accessibility by scheduling specific implementation and testing time, working with specialized contractors, and getting feedback from users with disabilities
== Current status of the discussion ==
Gathering support
Recently had a an Accessibility Sprint on the iOS Team and a Volunteer Hackathon in Philadelphia in October. With help we were able to close out many open issues and able to find and fix new ones
@Mhurd, @JoeWalsh and @Fjalapeno wil be preparing the session content and demoing features
