March 18, 2021
2:30pm to 4:00pm Eastern Time
This session will explain what a web accessibility overlay is and why would you use? Does incorporating accessibility overlays address WCAG standards and make your website compliant? There are several different types of accessibility overlays available from tool-based options that include toolbars and plugins to JavaScript and hardware models. Not all overlays are created equal and certain types have more challenges than others. This session will breakdown the benefits or downfalls of web accessibility overlays so you determine if overlays are worth using.
