“Born accessible”

Making things accessible doesn’t have to be difficult or cumbersome, but fixing inaccessible things is going to require some of your time. This guide focuses on some common day-to-day tasks. It includes resources to help you fix inaccessible materials, but ultimately aims to help you make content that is “born accessible” so there’s no need to fix it later. 

PRO TIP: If your original document (ie. in Word or docs) follows accessibility best practices there’s a very good chance you’ll be able to preserve those accessible features when content is copied and pasted elsewhere or reproduced as a PDF.
