Access Nature Forum: Guidance on Accessible Electronic Communications

When so much communication with the public and with colleagues involves technology, it takes thoughtful consideration to make sure what you are saying is received by your intended audience. In this presentation, Joe Zesski, Program Manager of the Northeast ADA Center, will discuss the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and how it applies to the communications of state/local government as well as businesses and nonprofits. He will particularly focus on the requirement to provide effective communication to individuals with disabilities and what that means in the digital space.

Mr. Zesski will review what makes electronic communication most accessible to the most number of individuals. He will provide best practice strategies and tips for achieving accessibility in documents, presentations, social media, and other forms of electronic communication. Time will be set aside for questions and answers.
