Introduction to Web and Digital Document Accessibility

This workshop provides a non-technical introduction to digital accessibility as it relates to web content and documents. Participants will gain understanding of the way people with disabilities interact with digital content and receive a high-level overview of WCAG 2.0 guiding principles and guidelines.

Topics covered include:

• What is accessibility?
• How do people with disabilities use computers?
• How accessibility benefits your organization
• Overview of the WCAG 2.0’s principles and guidelines. 

This workshop complements, and is suggested prior to, the “Strategies for Web Accessibility” workshop being held on November 9th, 2016 from 1-4pm.

The workshop covered a lot of information I was not aware of. Very informative!

Really helpful – videos and screen reader demo.

Great explanation of the experience of real users – what tools they use and expect.
