Web 2011 Conference at Penn State

Accessibility is more than just a requirement based on mandates, it's the right thing to do. Adobe has worked diligently to ensure that the content you create and provide with Adobe tools is truly accessible to others. In this session, you will be introduced to an overview of the ways that you can make your content available to all. We will cover:

• Accessibility in Acrobat

• Making HTML accessible with Dreamweaver

• Creating Flash projects that are accessible

• Using the features in Adobe Connect to enhance accessibility

If you remember that accessibility is a process, then this session will get you on your way and provide you the basic information you will need to create content to meet the needs of your entire audience.

Suddenly - but not without warning - webmasters are being asked to
make their websites accessible. But, most are not fully prepared to
evaluate their sites and develop a plan to remediate problems.
This workshop will guide you through a workflow that identifies
accessibility problems, as well as those obscure standards- and
syntax-related problems that you can safely wait until later to fix.
This workshop will guide you in:

• how to interpret results of automated scanning tools


• identify the situations where quick and painless code reviews can
  quickly identify problems


• why screen readers find accessibility problems that automated tools
  can't - and why you need to learn to use them
