Accessibility for readers with disabilities

This branch covers making information usable across sensory and physical abilities, divided by the material being prepared: electronic documents, web and social content, and page layouts that support readers unable to use every visual cue. It leaves general typography to readable layout, visual communication principles to visual communication, audience level and plain wording to their own branches, and word-processor formatting mechanics to software and tools.

• Making electronic documents usable by readers with disabilities — links, headings, alternative text, tables, captions and transcripts
• Making web and social media content accessible — conformance, navigation, visual presentation, social conventions and multimedia alternatives
• Designing a layout for readers who cannot use every cue — a patient-summary design case, colour and character recognition, navigation and emotional tone
