Accessibility is more than a checklist—it’s a skill set. In this hands-on workshop, participants will be introduced to the 18-Point Accessibility Skills Framework, designed to support educators, instructional designers, and content creators in developing inclusive digital learning experiences.
We’ll explore each of the 18 skills across key themes such as text, layout, images, media, tables, and links. Participants will self-assess their current level of confidence and competency in each skill using our interactive online tool. The session will also provide guidance on interpreting your results and identifying areas for professional growth.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to embed accessibility more deeply into your practice, this workshop will give you a structured, supportive way to reflect, learn, and plan your next steps.
