Week 4: Creating Accessible Documents for Individuals with Learning Disabilities

Presenter: John Rempel, Quality Control & Training Specialist, AMAC Accessibility at Georgia Tech

We are living in a time where the terms "assistive technology" and "accommodations" are expanding the way we think about access to our environments. Accommodations for those living with learning disabilities include ease of access to textbooks and print materials on a postsecondary level. This includes electronic text and the devices being used to read on. Join us for webinar focused on creating accessible documents for individuals living with learning disabilities. Presenters will share information on why and how accessible documents are important for achieving academic success. Tips on how to identify inaccessible documents will be discussed. Participants will be able to understand the solutions for creating accessible documents that are compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
