Where It's AT – Assistive Technology Blog

What you say on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube matters. Equally important, how you say what you say through social media will ensure that everyone can hear that message. Including accessibility practices in your social media initiatives is not only a courtesy to consumers with disabilities, but is a solid practice to ensure your message and content is heard across all platforms. This webinar, developed by the Maryland Department of Disabilities Technology Assistance Program (MDTAP), will cover the “whys,” “hows,” and “what we are waiting on” in the world of making social media usable and accessible for all.
