Accessible Presentations workshop
Do you know how to present accessibly so that all people in the audience can understand your work? All presentations should be accessible presentations. Do you know core basics of disability studies and disability history, especially if you work with people with disabilities? If not, this workshop is for you.
Presenting accessibly can be complicated if you are a novice. We know — we were once novices too! In the first half, Avery will go over how to deliver an accessible slide show presentation, which is critical for everyone to increase the understandability of their content. , In the second half, Emma will cover basic disability studies history and concepts, which are critical to understand if you do work with people with disabilities. If you are associated with CREATE and are unfamiliar with either of these topics, we strongly encourage you to attend.
