For Days 90 and 91 of my 100 Days of Accessibility Challenge, I decided to browse YouTube to see what web accessibility introductions and tutorials were available for free. There were many more than I imagined! I've scraped off just a few recommendations to start you off, and YouTube's suggestions can lead you down the rabbit hole after these.
