Who I am

Hello, I’m Esther Klang, CPACC, and I am dedicated to making technology universally accessible. My passion lies in empowering individuals and organizations to unlock the full potential of accessibility, ensuring that no one is excluded from the digital world.

My journey took an unexpected turn in 2006 when surgery resulted in quadriplegia and a speech disability. This life-changing experience ignited a powerful new purpose within me: to break down digital barriers and champion inclusive design.

Today, I am an accessibility tester and a passionate advocate for accessibility and inclusive design. You can think of me as your “accessibility detective,” with a keen eye for identifying and resolving issues that often go unnoticed. I am here to help you make your websites and applications truly accessible to everyone.
