Wendy Sellers
As digital communication continues to expand, ensuring your documents are ADA-compliant is no longer optional—it's a legal and operational necessity. This informative and timely webinar will provide a practical, easy-to-understand overview of document accessibility, focusing on what makes a document ADA-compliant and why these standards matter for individuals using assistive technologies.
From HR materials to internal and external communications, the session will walk you through the essential components of accessible documents, including searchable text, proper heading hierarchies, alternative image text, meaningful link descriptions, logical reading order, and more.
A significant portion of the webinar will focus on the fast-approaching April 2026 ADA compliance deadline, which has wide-reaching implications for many state and federally funded entities. Participants will gain clarity on who is legally required to comply, which document types fall under the new standards, and how enforcement is shifting in both the public and private sectors.
You'll leave the session with real-world strategies for integrating accessibility into your current workflows, avoiding common pitfalls, and reducing future remediation costs. Beyond compliance, attendees will also explore the long-term organizational benefits of accessible documents—from improved user experience to demonstrating a strong commitment to inclusivity and ethical practices.
