Digital accessibility means creating information people can read, understand, and use, including people who use screen readers or other assistive technology.

ADA Title II protects access to public school programs and services. Its web-accessibility rule establishes WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the technical standard for web content and mobile apps.

Students, families, and coworkers rely on the information we share. Accessible content helps everyone find instructions, participate in learning, and complete everyday tasks.

Build accessibility into the information you create and share:

• Websites and mobile apps

• Documents, forms, and flyers

• Newsletters, emails, and social media

• Videos and presentations

• Learning platforms, including Canvas

Start with the next item you create or update:

• Use built-in heading styles to organize content.

• Give links descriptive names, such as “School calendar,” instead of “Click here.”

• Add meaningful alt text to images that communicate information. Mark decorative images as decorative when possible.

• Include accurate video captions and check automatically generated captions.

• Use readable color contrast, and don’t rely on color alone to convey meaning.

• Include essential flyer information as regular text in the email or webpage, too.
