WebAIM: 2026 Predictions: The Next Big Shifts in Web Accessibility As I gaze ahead to 2026, several trends are already taking shape. These are more than theories and ideas; they are practical shifts that website owners are beginning to feel today. Here are some likely, meaningful changes on the near horizon.
