People who have hearing, visual, and some types of cognitive disabilities may need to use assistive technology to use a computer to access digital materials.
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 USC § 794d) requires that when agencies develop, procure, or maintain, information and communication technology (ICT), that it is accessible to persons with disabilities.
The California Community College Chancellor's Office Accessibility Standard mandates that all instructional materials be accessible. These materials include syllabi, textbooks, presentations and handouts delivered within CCC’s learning management system, via email or via another electronic means for face-to-face classes as well as e-learning courses.
Heading styles, lists, images, links, closed-captions, and color contrast/meaning are six basic accessibility concepts that you can incorporate into your digital instructional materials.

If you need help with making your instructional materials accessible, please use this form to contact me and make an appointment.
