What is an Accessible Slide
Presentation?
Individuals bring in different skills, needs and interests to learning.
"Diversity" in our student population is more than cultural; it includes a wide range of physical, visual [sensory], hearing, learning [cognitive], attention, and communication abilities.2
An accessible slide presentation is a digital one that can be read by screen reader software for users with disabilities.

Why is it important? (cont.)

Structure
Why is it important to have a structure for my slide
presentation?
A: Screen reader software can provide a listing of heading
styles for users with disabilities to navigate quickly to any
parts of the document. See a sample of the Heading list
generated by JAWS below.
