In this season two premiere of the VOScast podcast, we are joined by Ben Ogilvie, Head of Accessibility at ArcTouch, who shares his personal journey into accessibility work influenced by his father's paralysis and son's brain injury. Ben discusses how ArcTouch helps clients view accessibility as an opportunity rather than just a compliance requirement, explores AI's current and future impact on accessibility features, offers specific recommendations for making employment apps more accessible, provides best practices for implementing accessibility in user-generated content, and advises companies on preparing for the upcoming WCAG 3.0 standards.

In this episode we welcome Brittny MacIver, Technical Consultant and founder of Cali Madison Solutions, to share her unique journey from corrections counselor to leadership roles in vocational rehabilitation (VR). Brittny discusses the vital role of performance data in improving outcomes for program participants, the importance of measurable skills gains, and the impact of AI and capacity challenges on the future of VR. She also offers insights into tracking credentials, reducing administrative burdens, and maintaining the individualized approach that defines VR. The episode closes on a lighter note with Brittny’s current favorite artist and reflections on the intersection between VR and workforce development.
