DESCRIPTION
Are your library’s computers accessible to someone losing their eyesight or who can no longer use a mouse due to Parkinson's disease? Do you know how a refreshable Braille display works? Does your library have at least one large print keyboard available for use on a public computer? In this session, you’ll learn what products are available to make your library accessible to users regardless of vision impairments or other hidden disabilities. You’ll also familiarize yourself with accessible software that’s already built-in to your library’s computers. Hidden disabilities are everywhere. Find out how to make your library's technology accessible to everyone.
