Description:

According to Northwestern’s Digital Accessibility Policy as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all software used at Northwestern needs to be accessible to all users. Unfortunately, pretty much everything has some accessibility issues. This session will help you ensure tools you use are in compliance. We will discuss the steps that need to be taken to identify potential accessibility issues and develop plans to ensure all users have an equitable experience. The session will focus on using AI tools to help quickly decipher accessibility information from software companies and develop equally effective alternative access plans (EEAAP).
