Designing Accessible Slide Decks
.png)
Support accessibility in presentations.
Melissa Wong shows you how to create accessible slide decks to support visual and cognitive accessibility.
Join Melissa Wong to take a deep dive into creating accessible slide decks. Participants will learn to use layout and reading order to create a slide deck that is compatible with screen readers and then learn to select and implement (or remediate) a slide design that supports visual and cognitive accessibility.
Beyond slide design, the webinar will address speaking practices that support accessibility in presentations. Participants will have the option to download a sample slide deck and follow along with basic remediation practices.
Participants will be able to:
- Use layout and reading order to create a slide deck that is compatible with screen readers.
- Select and implement an accessible slide design.
- Identify speaking practices that support accessibility in presentations.
