Accessibility Deep Dive Workshop

How do you create an accessible website or application? How do you know you’ve succeeded?

Join us for a deep dive into accessibility using real-world scenarios and hands-on activities for everyone: developers, buyers, site owners, managers, executives, and anyone who wants to make technology more usable for all.

This workshop provides a balance of supporting information, functional examples, and exercises to easily start creating an accessible web experience and delivery process.

In this deep-dive, hands-on session, we will cover:

• The basics: principles, laws, standards, and compliance criteria
• Universal Design and your website
• Types of disability and how they affect your users
• How people use assistive technology to access websites and applications
• What Not to Code: Real-life examples of markup gone wrong
• How to choose testing tools that are right for your needs and your budget
• The most effective ways to test

The session includes time for hands-on testing using the tools and resources we’re presenting. Feel free to bring a laptop or mobile device, and get ready to fire up your favorite (or least favorite) interface and see how it stacks up.
