Accessible Materials Made Right (AMMR)

If you want your websites, emails, presentations, and other messages to reach everyone, you must proactively develop content in a way that is accessible to all. Nearly 20 percent of the U.S. population has some form of disability that can affect vision, hearing, dexterity, mobility, and more. AMMR is available through a series of online modules (EduPaths). It was designed to help creators of digital content (e.g., administrators, school faculty, support staff, and technology specialists) improve the accessibility of documents and presentations. Accessible design eliminates barriers that prevent learners and other consumers from receiving information.
