Whether your presentation is a stand-alone presentation or part of a larger event, it is important to plan ahead for accessibility. There are many things you can do to be proactive about making your presentation accessible to all those who attend. This toolkit will help you keep accessibility in mind from the early stages of planning to things to do during the presentation.
Common Barriers
The typical design of presentations may present a variety of barriers. Some common barriers include videos that are not captions, presenters assuming that everyone can see their slides, inaccessible handouts, too much text on slides, and lack of amplification. Careful planning and designing can reduce or eliminate these and other barriers.
Guidelines are provided for both in-person and virtual presentations.
