eLearning developers with accessibility needs?
Are there any elearning developers out there who have accessibility needs that impact your ability to develop content in Rise and Storyline?
There's so much brilliant info and guidance available to help with designing and developing accessible elearning. However, we're interested to find out what barriers exist for people who use authoring tools as part of their job and also have accessibility needs. This could be in relation to using hardware or neurodiversity, for example.
We're hoping to find out what these barriers might be so we can look to remove them for future members of our digital learning team.
Any insight is very welcome!

I can't believe I only just found this. I have some accessibility needs, but not nearly as many as some would.
I use dictation software, and struggle with using a mouse too much due to nerve problems in my hands. I find articulate to be problematic on both fronts. Also, I get eyestrain when using light interfaces, so the lack of dark mode is an issue for me.

I'd also point you at this post I made a few weeks ago: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/accessibility-for-authors-protecting-our-health
