This Thursday, May 19, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) — a recognition of the importance of digital access and inclusion for the more than one billion people with disabilities and impairments.
To celebrate, attend Accessibility Demystified — a webinar focused on helping UC staff become more familiar with accessibility and share ideas about how individuals, locations and UC as a whole can expand access to all. Register online here.
This fast-paced event will feature 10- to 15-minute sessions, including:
- Intro to barriers faced by individuals with disabilities
- Empathy session featuring a UC staff member with a temporary disability
- Demo of how people navigate the digital environment using a keyboard only
- Tutorial on how to make content using Rich Text Editors accessible
- Gameshow about research and data that can help guide accessibility
