- Abstract
This session will touch on several aspects of universal design for accessibility, including multiple means of representation, the use of at-tags, and captioning and transcription. Some of the hardware and software tools that help make content more widely accessible will be described, including browse plug-ins that render web site pages in a dyslexia-friendly font. We will touch on the proposed 508 Standards refresh, and offer links to content describing the nature of these changes. Several resources for improving document accessibility will be offered.
