Accessibility: Beyond the Code, What Managers Need to Know

Presenters: cindymcqt

You know that your federal site must be 508 compliant. Do you know what that means today? WCAG 2.1 requires more from you while giving you options you didn't have before.

There isn't enough time to train you in everything you need to know. That would take days. However, we can get you started thinking in the right direction. In this session, you will be:

  • Introduced to the scope of WCAG 2.1.

  • Offered a process that will help you assess your current site and locate issues.

  • Asked to consider WCAG 2.1 from four different roles and why that matters.

  • Shown how Drupal 8 is already doing much of what you need to do without you having to do anything.

This session is for you if you are:

  • Making decisions about your site.

  • Responsible for ensuring an accessible site.

  • Managing staff responsible for the site.
