January 28, 2019 By Deborah Edwards-Onoro Leave a Comment

Imagine you’re a web designer, developer, digital marketer, project manager, or educator ready to learn more about web accessibility.

You’ve heard of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

But you’re overwhelmed by the amount of information available: a plethora of websites, posts, and other resources has your mind spinning.

Where do you start?

Digital Accessibility Support – A Guide to Trustworthy Free Online Resources

In her February 5th webinar, Digital Accessibility Support – A Guide to Trustworthy Free Online Resources, Shawn Henry from the W3C WAI will discuss the many tools, tips, and resources on the WAI website to help you make the web accessible and usable to everyone.

No matter what role you have in a web project, this webinar will point you toward helpful resources and tools to help you:

  • Implement accessibility into your project from the start
  • Prepare a business case to get buy-in from management
  • Write an accessibility statement
  • Meet the needs of specific users
  • Find the latest design and development techniques to use or share with your team

Hosted by The Paciello Group, the webinar will be held at noon Eastern Time on Tuesday, February 5, 2019.

While the webinar is free, pre-registration is required.

Speaker Biography

Shawn Henry leads education and outreach promoting accessibility for people with disabilities at the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative.

She focuses her personal passion for accessibility on bringing together the needs of individuals and the goals of organizations in designing human-computer interfaces, including through Just Ask: Integrating Accessibility Throughout Design.

Join Me!

I spend a lot of time every week on the WAI website, but I’ll be attending the webinar to learn about any new resources I may have missed.

And I’m glad to learn they’re using Zoom, one of the most accessible video conference services I’ve used.

Will I see you online at the webinar on February 5th?
