Dr. T (Teira Wilson)
Dr. Teira Wilson, affectionately known as Dr. T, is a passionate digital accessibility strategist, insightful researcher, dynamic speaker, and document wizard who believes in inclusion for all and has a heartfelt commitment to innovative structures that work. She has dedicated years to transforming inaccessible chaos, tackling one form, flyer, and Frankenstein’d PDF at a time. From organizing documents to developing training programs, she is passionately leading the accessibility strategy at the university level. She has encountered every bad habit, broken layout, and well-intentioned disaster you can think of—and skillfully turned them into wonderful teachable moments.
Her doctoral research centered on advancing digital accessibility in higher education, using an Organizational Development perspective. She thoughtfully examined the accessibility of various college websites—public, nonprofit, and for-profit—throughout California. Then she submitted her dissertation as a fully accessible PDF because, yeah, she walks that talk.
Dr. T is on a mission to transform accessibility from a daunting challenge into a remarkable superpower! She empowers overwhelmed teams to become true inclusion warriors with her sharp strategies, genuine empathy, and a dash of sass.
