Forces that Disable

These are not accidents. They are structural, cultural, and organizational choices -- sometimes deliberate, sometimes normalized -- that result in accessibility failures. Some are acts of neglect. Others are symptoms of broader systems. All of them shift the burden onto users and undermine pre-deployment care.

📄️ Abandonment

When care is withdrawn -- and access fades away.

📄️ Disability Dongles

When tools are created that nobody asked for -- and divert attention from the problems that need fixes.

📄️ Disinformation and Misinformation

When narratives, data, or claims about accessibility are misleading or false, diverting attention from systemic issues and hindering effective solutions.
