At the opening night of the 2023 Elevate Festival, TD Bank Group made a significant announcement, unveiling the TD Accessibility Adapter, a free accessibility Chrome plug-in. Available to users in both Canada and the United States, this innovative tool empowers individuals to personalize their online experience according to their specific accessibility requirements. Some of its standout features include reading guides, adjustable font sizes, dark mode, a dyslexia-friendly font, and monochrome mode. Notably, it’s designed to seamlessly coexist with other assistive technologies, ensuring a cohesive and inclusive online experience for all users.

Samantha Estoesta, a Product Manager at TD Bank Group, has a deeply personal connection to the TD Accessibility Adapter. She used to grapple with chronic migraines triggered by the blue light emanating from her computer screen, which often led her to work in near-total darkness with her screen’s brightness at its lowest setting. However, over the past four months, Estoesta has been using the TD Accessibility Adapter, a tool she played a pivotal role in creating. This innovative tool has significantly mitigated her migraine frequency by nearly 75%, offering her a newfound sense of relief.

Developed by TD Lab, an innovation group within TD, the tool underwent rigorous testing, initially with over 6,000 TD Bank colleagues. After proving its worth, the TD Accessibility Adapter is now available to the public, aligning with TD Bank’s commitment to inclusive innovation and its goal of extending support to individuals with diverse needs, both within and beyond the bank.
