I started life as an archaeologist before retraining in IT and have wide experience of work in the voluntary / not for profit and continuing education sectors in Scotland where I am usually based. This has included database design, hardware support, software support, website design and tuition.
From 2009 - 2010 I was in Nairobi, Kenya as Assistive Technology Tutor with the Kenyan Society for the Blind. Then came two years in Ethiopia, working with the Addis Ababa HIV / AIDS Prevention and Control Office and the Ethiopian Midwives Association. My most recent stint abroad was another two years in Papua New Guinea as Provincial Capacity Building ICT Advisor on a United Nations Development Program / Ministry of Finance project. For now I am back in Scotland and a part time Open University tutor.

It is good to see this, there have been well known accessibility issues with pdf documents for many years. So far piecemeal fixes for particular problems have eased the situation but applying them and ensuring consistency is a pain.
Thanks for this Rikard, really useful, I am getting more students with self declared neurodiversity. My guess is that this is partly down to of better recognition and diagnosis, certainly not helped by young people having a rough year and a half of Covid pandemic restrictions.
