HTML Accessibility

Let's go over some of the types of accessibility we learned about:

• Hearing
• Captioning Videos
• Making text versions of any audio clips

• Learning
• Clear writing
• Clean space: no unnecessary moving images color/pattern changes
• Avoid long text passages

• Mobility
• Larger clickable icons and links
• Compatibility with Voice Recognition software

• Sight
• ALT tags and Descriptors
• TITLE tags
• Speech Reader compatibility with tables and image maps

Now, how do we make all of this come to fruition within our own pages? Let's take a few minutes to look at our own pages in a new light. What do you see that is accessible versus what is in accessible?

What kinds of changes do you see that are necessary? We'll further discuss the mechanics of making changes next and there will be multiple resources provided offering lots of "How To" guidance.
