Digital Accessibility is a critical part of UCSF's diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. We need to design our electronic communications, so they are easily accessed, used, and understood by people with and without disabilities. While one in four adults in the US have disabilities, creating accessible digital communications benefits everyone. This includes people with temporary, situational, or invisible disabilities, for example, a colleague who is hard of hearing, color blind, or has difficulty concentrating in a noisy environment.
In celebration of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) 2021, please join us in a multidisciplinary panel event where we share information and strategies about how to make your communications accessible and more usable for all.
