Successibility is an educational blog focused on accessibility, assistive technology, and tools for building success–whether or not you have a disability. The goal is to offer clear, practical information for people who want to better understand accessibility and how it fits into everyday technology, design, and communication.
This blog covers a range of topics, including accessibility standards like WCAG, assistive technology tutorials, product reviews, accessible design practices, and tips for personal and professional development. Whether you’re in tech, education, content creation, or simply interested in making your work more inclusive, Successibility aims to provide insight you can actually use.
About Me
I’m Lauren Bradford, the person behind this blog. I’m an assistive technology instructor based in Austin, Texas, and I’ve been working in accessibility in some form since my college years. I got into the field because I’ve always loved technology–and because, as someone with a visual impairment, I saw firsthand how often digital tools fell short of being truly usable.
In 2022, I earned an associate degree in computer science from Grayson College. I went on to complete a bachelor’s degree in professional and technical communication with a minor in psychology from the University of North Texas in 2024. While studying at UNT, I worked as an accessibility assistant, testing digital course materials and platforms for accessibility barriers. I collaborated with faculty and developers to identify issues and make improvements.
In 2025, I joined the Austin Lighthouse for the Blind as an assistive technology instructor. There, I teach adults how to use a wide range of assistive tools–including screen readers, magnifiers, braille displays, smartphones, and smart glasses–to support independence and build skills in daily life. My students come from many different backgrounds, and I work with people who are blind, losing vision, or learning these tools for the first time.
Outside of Work
When I’m not teaching or writing, I enjoy singing, playing guitar, knitting, and checking out new places around Austin. I also spend time learning new tech, from coding and 3D printing to exploring AI tools. I like staying curious and finding creative ways to bridge technology and accessibility.
