Why this topic matters
Designers are encouraged to be user advocates. But that does not transfer to disabled users. This risks exclusion, mismatching the goals of accessibility. Yes, WCAG provides an essential technical baseline. But, compliance alone misses the journey view. Barriers can appear: support, documentation, authentication, physical spaces, org policies, or inaccessible recovery routes. Disability advocacy gives us the tool to improve access work.
