Last official study day! I'll continue to review my notes, WCAG, screen reader shortcuts, and work through Deque courses, but I will not feel obligated to post everyday after this. Summary of 100-day journey still to come.

A couple days ago, I covered WCAG and hearing impairments, so today I reviewed WCAG again to so how it benefits people with motor impairments that want to use the web.

• Reviewed Deque's Design Considerations for Disabilities [PDF] cheatsheet
• Added motor disabilities alongside success criteria in my my WCAG cheatsheet.
• Continued Deque course "Images, SVG, and Canvas". 15% complete.
