Weekly announcements, October 14th

The Digital Accessibility Office has prepared documentation around compliance, including a sample compliance plan, to help with your changes to your digital content. Remember that we have a deadline of April 24, 2026 to get digital materials accessible and aligned with WCAG 2.2 AA standards per Title II of the ADA. Note that this requirement exceeds federal standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) with the goal of future-proofing your content and keeping it robust in the event of further changes. Please refer to the FAQs or reach out to us with any questions.

Tuesday, October 15th is White Cane Awareness Day, which celebrates the independence of visually-impaired and blind users of this helpful piece of equipment.

The DAO will be presenting on the accessibility mindset at the Equity in Teaching Institute on Thursday, October 17.
