I just stumbled upon @IncludEduOnline and everyone, it is amazing. It's FREE and it suggests extensions, online tools, etc for different disabilities. You can search by disability (sensory processing) and then by Mac/PC/Google.

Google Hangouts has also provided accessibility resources to make their platform more usable. Check out this like that walks through a few of their options. #NPHW #AccessabilityInMeetings oit.colorado.edu/services/messa…
Microsoft Teams is a platform great for sharing files and projects, while also being able to host meetings. They have a page that goes over the accessibility features they provide to navigate their platform. #NPHW support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/ac…
Zoom is great for more than just utilizing the cat filter. Check out this link to learn more about making your Zoom meetings more accessible. #AccessibilityInTheWorkplace #NPHW kb.iu.edu/d/aoee
While accessibility in virtual settings is not new, we have seen a greater need for it over the last year. Curious about accessibility on the major platforms used for meetings? Follow along as we share info on hosting/participating in these meetings.
