Web developers will come away with a deep understanding of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, the AODA requirements for website accessibility, and how to achieve WCAG 2.0 conformance. The session will also cover a list of practical tools for assessing and implementing web accessibility. Knowledge of HTML is required.

Interactive discussions and examples. A great workshop!

Knowledgeable presenter who gave specific mark-up examples and was able to answer questions.

I really liked the identification of tools and techniques for testing conformance.

Great practical advice!

The de-mystifiying of WCAG was very helpful!
