Our first accessibility ribbon was announced back in 2015, at the University of Toronto, while presenting at their annual 2 day Information Technology conference in May 2015. They hosted David Berman who spoke as part of a special AODA Discussion Panel at TechKnowFile (#TKF15) on achieving accessibility without trade-offs. He announced the new Berman Accessibility Ribbon for Word in celebration of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), and so it began…
Since then, every year we’ve announce a new ribbon language! French, Danish, Simplified Chinese… we’re taking requests for which languages are joining us for GAAD this year (it’s coming up on the third Thursday this May)!

Hi,
I received the email announcing the new ribbon however the link led me to this page…I don’t see where the instructions are to install the updated ribbon are as I wanted to see it. The link on this page entitled Berman Accessibility Ribbon is hyperlinked back to this page.

Hi Leanne! Nice to hear from you. Our apologies: yes several people noted the incorrect link in the email. We’ve fixed it now. Please head to http://www.davidberman.com/ribbon to get the ribbons! And thank you again for having been such an important of the ribbon journey!
I followed links in an email I received regarding the update to the Accessibility Ribbon, and the link here on this page but I’m not finding the download. Clicking the link here just keeps bringing me back to this page. Are the links broken?
