OUR FULL SESSION DESCRIPTION:

Tips for Creating Accessible, Inclusive Content & Reducing Bias in Your Writing

Before you hit send, post, or publish, are you certain that the content you’re about to share will be accessible, equitable, and inclusive? In the first half of this session, Donna Talarico will cover the basics of web accessibility—what it is and why it matters (geared toward non-techies!). During the session’s second half, Joey Garcia will help you identify and prepare to overcome implicit bias, understand when you need to hire a sensitivity reader, and how to take proactive steps that create positive change. You’ll leave this session feeling more mindful about the written and multimedia content you create or share online, whether with other writers or a broader audience of readers.
