Digital Accessibility Resources

Digital accessibility ensures that students, families, and community members can easily access and use digital resources. It has far-reaching impacts on all users but is especially important to those with disabilities. Digital accessibility principles apply to social media posts, online learning platforms, instructional materials, apps, emails, documents, images, forms, and more. By designing content with accessibility in mind, we can help ensure equitable access to digital information and online services.

Creating and implementing accessible digital content into the learning environment ensures inclusivity for both students and their guardians. When digital content is not designed with accessibility in mind, it can create unnecessary barriers that disrupt the learning process and jeopardize independence.
