  1. ADA Compliance: Designing for Accessibility This presentation will guide you through the key considerations for ensuring your website meets ADA standards, creating a more inclusive digital experience for everyone.

  2. Overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Legal Framework Web Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) The ADA, enacted in 1990, prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including the internet. WCAG provides technical guidelines for making web content accessible to people with disabilities. It outlines a set of principles and success criteria.

Accessible Website Requirements Alternative Text for Images Keyboard Navigation Color Contrast 1 2 3 Enable users to fully navigate the website using only the keyboard, without relying on a mouse. Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors, improving readability for those with visual impairments. Provide descriptive text for images, allowing screen readers to convey visual information.

  4. Accommodating Different Disabilities Visual Impairments Hearing Impairments Provide alternative text for images, use high contrast colors, and offer text-to-speech features. Include captions for videos and audio content, and consider providing sign language interpretations. Cognitive Disabilities Mobility Impairments Use clear and concise language, limit distractions, and offer options for simplifying content. Ensure keyboard accessibility, provide alternatives to mouse-based interactions, and avoid using CAPTCHAs that require specific motor skills.

  5. Inclusive Design Best Practices Consider User Needs Collect User Feedback Design with a wide range of users in mind, including people with disabilities. Gather input from individuals with disabilities to identify areas for improvement. Regular Testing Collaboration and Training Use accessibility testing tools and involve users with disabilities in the testing process. Educate your design team about accessibility best practices and promote a culture of inclusion.

  6. Accessible Media and Content Video Captions 1 Provide accurate and timed captions for all video content. Audio Descriptions 2 Offer audio descriptions for videos that contain important visual information. Alternative Formats 3 Make content available in alternative formats like audio or braille.

  7. Testing and Validating ADA Compliance Automated Testing Use accessibility testing tools to identify potential issues. Manual Testing Involve users with disabilities in manual testing to validate accessibility. WCAG Evaluation Perform a comprehensive evaluation of your website against WCAG success criteria.
