About the Course

This course introduces prevention professionals to the fundamentals of accessibility in website content and design. Participants will explore why accessibility matters, the POUR principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust), and the differences between accessible and inaccessible design. The course features real-world examples, common do’s and don’ts, and practical guidance for designing with users in mind—including individuals with low vision or those using screen readers. Additional tools and resources for implementing accessible practices are also included.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, Elevate Your Work: Accessibility for Prevention Professionals created by South Southwest PTTC in 2024.
