Accessibility Training and Consulting
This one-day Train-the-Trainer workshop course will focus on how to design and deliver an engaging training session for your organization’s staff and volunteers.
Prerequisite: Participants must have taken our “How to Create Accessible Word Documents” workshop prior to attending this workshop.
This hands-on workshop is designed to clearly explain how to create an accessible document using Microsoft Word. It will demonstrate converting documents to PDF format and examine the required structure for assistive technologies.
This workshop is a comprehensive review of how layout and design principles and practices influence the outcome in the construction of a document intended for accessibility.
Through exercises and group discussions, participants will review the background and theory of accessibility and how it affects document creation; the necessary changes to their current workflow and processes; and how to layout content in documents for those with vision, motor and cognitive impairments.
Microsoft Word will be used to build an accessible document, followed by using Adobe Acrobat Professional DC to inspect any conversion issues or errors.
