Welcome to Putting Accessibility into Practice Series. In this four-part series Microsoft Most Valuable Professional’s (MVPs) & Regional Directors (RD’s) share their lived experiences of how they have dealt with neurodiversity challenges and dyslexia. The willingness to share and address topics that carry stigma is a vital step in strengthening the core of a community where everyone feels that they belong. This series will provide everyone in the community a chance to come together and share experiences and learn more about importance of accessibility and inclusion.

What is this session about?
This session will be delivered by Sophie Tian (Software Engineer at Microsoft) who is Deaf and Miya Natsuhara (Software Engineer at Microsoft) who is fluent in American Sign Language.
