Accessible Design Gotchas and Goodies

Not just for websites

Led by Stephy Hogan
Accessible digital design is becoming more and more important, but the vast majority of resources are focused on web design. This session will give you the tools you need to make sure your presentations are accessible.

You also need to be able to defend the accessibility of your presentation when PowerPoint’s accessibility checker gets it wrong. And while we talk specifically about PowerPoint in this session, the goodies you’ll walk away with will apply across Office programs and other presentation software.

Highlights to include:


• Play a game of “spot the inaccessibility”

• Review the things PowerPoint misses or marks incorrectly

• How to fix the issues or work around them

• Create checklists to triage, evaluate, and document accessibility issues


This is for anyone who already knows that they need to design accessibly, has a very basic knowledge of accessible design, and who needs to make their presentations as accessible as possible, as fast as possible.
