Presenting Well: Universal Design for Inclusive and Accessible Presentations

Presenting Well teaches learners how to use universal design for inclusive and accessible presentations. This class provides a framework to proactively make facilities, resources, content, and instruction welcoming and accessible to everyone. Universal Design means that rather than designing for the “average user;” you design for people with a broad range of characteristics, such as native language, gender, race, ethnic background, age, sexual orientation, learning style, neurodiversity, and ability. Think about the characteristics that may be present in your audience. Attendees may have different learning styles, language proficiency, understanding culturally specific references, and may have difficulty seeing, hearing, moving, speaking, and/or understanding.

By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

• List the Seven (7) Principles of Universal Design

• Indicate how participants interested in your presentation can request accommodations in advance

• Proactively apply design best practices when creating presentation materials for diverse audiences

• Employ person-first and inclusive language when developing and delivering a presentation
