The Weiss Center works with states to make their IDEA data accessible to people with disabilities. Many people with disabilities use assistive technology including screen readers, screen magnification, and text-to-speech applications to access content. Accessible documents are necessary for many people with disabilities and improve the user experience for all users.
This quick guide provides the key strategies to create accessible Microsoft Word documents in a checklist format. For a full how-to guide with screenshots and examples from IDEA data, please see the Weiss Center Document Accessibility Guide: Microsoft Word.
