Online accessibility is now just as important as physical accessibility

How can we make our online presence more accessible for those with disabilities?

Use camel case.

Camel case includes a capital letter in the middle of a word to show the start of two words when they’re combined.

Here’s an example, CamelCase

This can be used to make hashtags easier to read online.

Be sure to use colours that are contrasting so it is easy to read.

Try to avoid using lots of emojis, as it will disrupt those who use screen reading, as the emojis will also be read out.

Be sure to add an image description, whether on your website or social media.

We have a free stream of learning called Women in the Workplace.

Which provides learning for women with an intellectual disability around the topic of work.

Making the internet more accessible helps people become more independent.

It’s important we make our online presence more accessible as it makes a huge difference.
