Learn How to Make Your Work More Accessible

There are ways that you can make your work more accessible to everyone who encounters it, including those with disabilities. Below are some ways you can learn more about making content usable and accessible.

• Provide agendas and materials in advance if you can so people can review and prepare to contribute thoughtfully. 
• Break up long content into more manageable chunks. For documents, you can do this using headings to designate segments, or you can split into shorter documents. If you’re giving a longer meeting or presentation, make space for processing or questions every 15 minutes.
