Usability and Accessibility in Presentations

Making your presentation accessible ensures everyone, including people with disabilities (auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, speech, and visual), can easily perceive, navigate, and interact with your presentation content.

This newsletter's trainer tip offers tips for designing your presentation with accessibility in mind to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where all audience members are valued and included.

Update: EPLI Resource Center

We shared the EPLI Resource Center directly with Current Trainers to make it more accessible. To ensure that you have viewing access to the files and folders, please visit the EPLI Resource Center. If you do not have access, please reach out to Kellie Fitzgerald for assistance.

→ Tip: You can access the EPLI Resource Center through the Current Trainers page on the START website under "relevant links."
