This session walks through how to design, test, and remediate digital documents so they’re usable with assistive technology and aligned with the new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II technical standard, WCAG 2.1 AA. We’ll cover accessibility basics in Word, PowerPoint, and Canva (headings, styles, color contrast, typography, alt text, links, tables, reading order), how to export and repair tagged PDFs in Acrobat, and what to do about scanned documents and forms. We’ll end by unpacking the WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadlines, key exceptions, and what they really mean for your existing files so you know exactly where to start cleaning up your digital document library.
