Digital accessibility information and registration open for accessibility workshop

Keep Microsoft and Adobe applications up to date

If you create documents, presentations, spreadsheets, or PDFs, please make sure you are using current University-supported versions of Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat when available.

Some accessibility tools and features may not be available in older versions of Microsoft applications or in the free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. Current applications provide tools that can help identify accessibility issues and make it easier to create accessible content from the beginning.

These tools support accessibility, but they do not make content accessible automatically. Accessible practices still need to be incorporated when creating and reviewing digital content.

Upcoming training: Charts, tables, and data visualization accessibility

  • Date: Thursday, Sept. 24
  • Time: 3-4 p.m.
  • Location: Virtual (register today)

This session will provide practical guidance for making charts, tables, and visual presentations of data more accessible. Topics will include communicating information without relying on color alone, providing meaningful alternatives for visual information, creating accessible tables, and considering accessibility when presenting data across different digital formats.

Digital Accessibility Services also offers Friday office hours for questions, consultation, and hands-on assistance. For additional guidance, tutorials, and resources, please continue to use DASH, the Digital Accessibility Support Hub.

If you encounter a digital accessibility concern, please reach out. Our digital accessibility liaison and Digital Accessibility Services are available to help identify barriers and determine appropriate next steps. Thank you for helping us create more accessible digital experiences across UGA.
