Creating Accessible Documents
Creating or converting existing documents into accessible formats is a simple process. You can take advantage of the accessibility features in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Adobe Acrobat to create accessible documents. This page contains various links to instructor-led hands-on workshops, self-paced tutorials or one-on-one consultation to create your accessible documents.
Hands-on instructor-led workshops are offered regularly throughout the year. To view the schedule and register for a session, visit our Events calendar.
One-on-one consultation is available by contacting Center Office.
