Presenting with Accessibility in mind

​

• Use inclusive language and representative design
• E.g. Avoid saying “as you can see on the screen…” instead say something like “The screen shows [insert description]…”
• Speak clearly and take pauses
• Describe anything you are displaying on your slides that contains important information
• Check your lighting
• Think about any background noises
• Keep your clothes and background plain
• Keep adequate time for Q&A
