Event description

In Part Two of our Be A Digital Ally series on Visual Description, we will continue to cover ways to make your visual content accessible to blind and low vision users.

In Part One of the series, we focused on alternative ways to deliver your content to blind users, primarily through audio description and proper heading structure. In this session, we will go over the various obstacles and considerations for low vision users, including brightness, contrast, page setup, and making good branding choices.

Have questions you would like to send ahead of time or a sample graphic you are struggling with you want us to use as an example? Email us at events@knowbility.org.
