Accessible

Readability for the web

A course for people who write for the SEND Local Offer.

This course was written in 2019. A lot of the screenshots are of web pages that no longer exist. There’s no criticism implied in any of the examples. As we say

“Everyone did the best job possible with the information they had at the time.”

Currently this is available as a Google Doc. I'll try to make it into a proper community course, where you can ask questions, and get help from other students. In the mean time, you can always contact me.

Accessibility for social media

I asked my disabled friends on social media ”What are your gripes about posts on social media?” They didn’t hold back! There were some common themes, but also some contradictory advice.

The one constant is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. A framework to help make the web accessible to everyone.

What I have written here is the way to follow these guidelines when creating Social Media Communications. It will help disabled people feel included in your brand. Whether people are blind, deaf, have epilepsy or Parkinson’s, or are disabled in any other way, follow the guidelines here, and you’ll make people happy.

This book is currently in a Google Doc, and you can add comments.

It might be a little out of date, so when I get time, I'll update it and turn it into web pages.
