slide and then add text boxes.
• Choose the layout that fits your content best.
• This allows all of the text content to be available in the Outline View for easier exporting.

Using Unique Headings for Each Slide• Make sure each slide has a unique heading.• If you have information that continues across
more than one slide add “continued” if there are 2 or number them if there are more than 2.• Data from Our Study - 1• Data from Our Study - 2• Data from Our Study - 3

Making Images Accessible with Alt Text• Without alt text, a screen reader user will not
know what an image is. • The screen reader will just say “graphic”• Describe what is in the image. No need to say
“image of” or “picture of”

Meaningful Links and Usability• Do people need to access the link right away?
• Give them the full URL on the slide• Download the handout at: exploreaccess.org/handouts
• Will everyone likely use a digital handout to access the resources?• Provide meaningful links
• Creating Accessible Documents Toolkit
• Will some people have the digital and some a print version?• Provide both
• Create Accessible Documents Toolkit(exploreaccess.org/creating-accessible-documents)

A Few More Suggestions• Data Tables: Only simple tables with same numbers of columns and rows. Can add alt text if complex table.
• Embedding videos: Remember to caption.• Animations: Use sparingly. Avoid flashing objects.• “Design Ideas”: Some are fairly accessible and some are not at all. Avoid unless you plan to remediate PDF.
