One in four adults in the U.S. live with a disability. Most likely, an even higher percentage of our UF Health audience experiences barriers in accessing our content. This could be due to vision loss, hearing loss or cognitive and physical disabilities.
It is critical that all content shared from UF Health is accessible to all members of our community. These best practices will walk you through the steps to ensure you are providing context to those with hearing and sight loss and is compatible with assistive technology.
Making accessibility part of your daily work flow takes time and effort. We’re here to assist! If we see content from your channel that needs improvement, we’ll reach out to go over it with you.
