In this introductory training session, we'll provide a high level overview of what web accessibility is, who it impacts, how to evaluate it, and why it's so important. We'll introduce you to some of the tools of the trade and will show you how to fix a few common code issues that you're likely to see in the wild. To wrap up, we'll gather feedback about the presentation and answer any questions or concerns you may have about implementing web accessibility practices in your department.
