Creating Accessible Presentations
When you create a presentation, you want everyone to understand your message. However, many presentations unintentionally include barriers that make that goal difficult for some. In this webinar, participants learned techniques for making slides more accessible using a number of popular presentation tools.

The OSEP website provides multiple resources to support stakeholders as they engage in different program areas, evaluations, improving accessibility, and undergo the OSEP Peer Review process. To learn more, Select a "Program Area" in the navigation on the left side of the page to access the OSEP Program Area pages, which include each program area's performance measures.
