Digital Accessibility Awareness Raising Workshop

This virtual instructor-led session delivered by Susi Miller covers the benefits of digital accessibility and tackles some common myths and misconceptions about disability and access needs. It is a highly practical session designed to promote collaboration, and a focus on accessibility leading to empathy and innovation. We also carry out a mini audit of our client’s digital content to make practical examples bespoke.
