Whether you're working with a webpage, Word document, PowerPoint presentation, or PDF, accessibility is the key to effective communication with all audiences.
To create inclusive and compliant designs, it's important to understand standards such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
This includes the proper use of ARIA roles, ensuring keyboard accessibility, employing semantic HTML elements, maintaining sufficient color contrast, and using visuals like graphs and images appropriately—all while respecting the needs of users with visual, hearing, physical, motor, and cognitive or learning impairments, as well as those sensitive to flashing content.
I’m a Certified Accessible Document Specialist (ADS) through the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP). This certification ensures your documents are remediated to the highest standards of accessibility, following WCAG and Section 508 guidelines.
