Accessible and Inclusive Design
Where Do You Start?
(Live Virtual Module - Webinar)
Accessibility is a big driver in our line of work these days. With the right supports, people with disabilities feel included and are able to contribute to our organizations.
If you're just starting out with moving towards accessible and inclusive design, it can feel overwhelming ...
- Where do you start?
- Is it even possible to make your content completely accessible?
- Is that even the right question?
In this session, you'll leave with a set of simple tools and tips to eliminate and prevent barriers in your training (and any other documents) right from the start. Making your training materials accessible is a legal requirement in the UK and many other countries. Without making reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities (both online and offline) you could face legal issues or penalties.
