Inclusion for All! Making Your Social Media Content Accessible
Tuesday, Oct 23 11:45 - 12:30
Presented by Erika ForsackSocial media is the wild west. There aren’t any official or widely accepted guidelines (yet) for accessibility. We’re at the mercy of social media platforms and their web developers. Do you work for public college or university? Do you know what’s required by law? In this session, you’ll learn what you can do to make your content accessible with best practices, image descriptions, and captions. This session will primarily focus on accommodations for folks with sensory disabilities, that are d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing (HoH) or visually impaired and Blind. #HESMa11y
