How Does Accessibility Apply to Me?<\/h2>\n

As a student, you\u2019ll create documents, presentations and other projects requiring some form of multimedia. This may be a research paper written in a Word document, a presentation slideshow, video recordings, voice narration, or other graphic elements. You may also need to send professional emails to future employers before or after an interview.<\/p>\n

Following accessibility standards can impact people who may have hearing or vision disabilities. These individuals depend on screen readers, braille output devices, or other assistive technologies, and include fellow students, your instructors, guidance counselors, future employers, coworkers, and more.<\/p>\n

Find more detailed information on accessibility standards for your work using the cards below:<\/p>\n\t\t
