Get up to speed quickly on making your Microsoft Excel spreadsheets accessible for everyone!

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll start with a brief overview of common accessibility challenges and solutions in Excel.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Create consistent heading levels for sighted users
  • Create tables with column or row headers and avoid other pitfalls
  • Work with colors and color testing tools
  • Implement images in an accessible way for screen reader users
  • Use the Excel Accessibility Assistant to find and fix common issues

By the end of this workshop, you’ll be well on your way to creating inclusive spreadsheets that meet State and Federal accessibility standards.
