Accessibility with Miranda Capra

Triangle UXPA is pleased to again welcome Miranda Capra as she presents an overview of accessibility for designers on December 16, 6:00pm - 7:00pm.

This is a free, online event. Registration is available for TriUXPA members and students. Registration begins December 4 for non-members. Registrants will be sent a link to the online meeting. 

Talk: Introduction to Accessibility for Designers

The best way to incorporate accessibility into your websites and apps is to consider it early, before implementation starts. I’ll give a few examples of how designers can address accessibility and a checklist to review your own work. In the second half I’ll open up to questions related to design, dev, and/or QA.

This talk is an overview of my in-depth workshop that I’ve given at CSUN, Access U, and TriUXPA. I hope to give it again at TriUXPA next year!
