USWDS - Accessibility: Add new content to a11y page.#1230
Conversation
| - It's not only part of our mission to embrace accessibility in our own work, but to do what we can to encourage it. | ||
| - **We prioritize accessibility issues.** We will work hard to fix accessibility-related issues quickly, and to get them into the next available release. Accessibility is a mission-critical service for USWDS, and we want to know when there's an opportunity to fix something that's broken or improve something that could be better. | ||

| While we conduct extensive research during the design and development of components, it is impossible to predict every use case for accessibility and usability overall. That is why we encourage you to [contribute to the community]({{ site.baseurl }}/about/community) by providing feedback on how a component is working on your site. We also recommend performing your own user testing at the page level to gauge the usability of a component within context. We welcome any and all findings and feedback as we work to identify and prioritize improvements to our components and guidance. |

There's an opportunity to link to one of many .gov resources on user testing here, since it's an explicit recommendation:

@thisisdano @mejiaj Not sure on the call to add Digital.gov, plain language.gov or usability.gov links into this section. Could you weigh in on this and determine if those should be added to this paragraph -- or at least to the Govt A11y Resources section below? Thanks

@mejiaj I added editorial notes to make tweaks to the sections Sarah found needed tweaks. You'll see my changes in Comments. Just need Dan to weigh in on the resources she suggested linking to. Thanks!
