Advice on making talks accessible

Use an off white background - for example in LaTeX \usepackage[x11names]{xcolor} \setbeamercolor{background canvas}{bg=Seashell1}

Check the colour contrast on slides and text - there are free tools like https://colourcontrast.cc/

Use a sans serif font 

Show the total number of slides and the current slide number

Avoid walls of text on each slide and use slide transitions to reveal sections of text as needed

Avoid relying on colour alone to highlight - for example use italics to highlight text, and in diagrams use different shaped nodes or dotted/dashed lines

Make sure to finish on time

Be mindful of speed for anyone taking notes

Read out everything that appears on the slide including equations

Explain/describe any diagrams or images

When including links label them appropriately - for example “my webpage” as opposed to “click here”

Provide alt text for any images - https://accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/describe-content-images

Consider using some of the accessibility packages that LaTeX offers

Provide the handout version of the pdf by replacing \documentclass{beamer} with \documentclass[handout]{beamer}
