Our Digital Accessibility Basics course focuses on accessibility as a practice, not just a requirement. This course will teach you how to create content that is accessible to all people, including people with disabilities.

When your content is clear, structured, and easy to use, more people can engage with it. That includes people using screen readers, people viewing on mobile devices, and people trying to understand information quickly.

Accessibility is really about making your content work for everyone.

Digital accessibility isn't just about websites. It's about making every digital document, presentation, and communication accessible from the start.

A recent article highlights how public schools and other state and local government entities should begin preparing now for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II digital accessibility requirements. Rather than waiting until compliance deadlines arrive, experts recommend building accessibility into everyday workflows today.

Building accessibility into digital content from the start helps ensure everyone can access the information they need while making compliance easier in the future.

Check out our new factsheet Voting Rights for People with Disabilities, now available on our website!

Voting should be accessible for everyone.

If you have a disability and need help casting your ballot, you can have someone assist you in the voting booth.

If you need accommodations because you have trouble seeing, speaking, or hearing, you can also request services such as a sign language interpreter, accessible electronic information, large print, Braille, or other aids and services.

If you know you'll need support, contact your local election office before Election Day to ask about the accommodations available.
