Description

The term digital accessibility can often sound scary and overwhelming, especially when thinking about all the technical details that may be involved. Knowing that this concept can feel loaded, our office frames this word around the concept of the user experience – determining what works best for end users and then learning and applying those items to the "product" (used loosely) that you’re providing.

In this session, members of the digital accessibility office will provide an operational definition of digital accessibility, explain why digital accessibility is about user experience, provide demonstrations of what the end-user experience looks and feels like with a screen reading application, and provide practices and resources to help you understand and implement digital accessibility into your work.
