During this two-hour webinar, learn to create macros that enhance computer access for people with disabilities — and everybody else!
This is a hands-on session. After introducing each topic, the instructor will give you time to work through exercises. After each exercise, the group will reconvene on Zoom to discuss and show their work.
If you have questions during the exercises, meet the instructor privately in a break-out room.
For two weeks after the session, you can book a free, 15-minute consultation with the instructor.
All course materials, including a recording of the webinar, will be archived and available to participants for 30 days.
