<p><strong><a href="/WAI/training/accessible">How to Make Presentations
Accessible to All</a></strong> is a new <a href="/WAI/">WAI</a> resource that
helps you make presentations, talks, meetings, and training accessible to all
of your potential audience, including people with disabilities and others. It
covers planning, preparing slides, providing accessible material,
considerations during your session, and more. It also mentions some of the
many <a
href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/training/accessible#waittheresmore">benefits of
inclusive presentations</a>.</p>

<p>WAI would like to know how this resource works for you and how we can
improve it. For example, we are considering making the information under the
headings expandable and collapsible. You can comment on this blog post or
send e-mail to the publicly archived list <a href="mailto:wai-eo-editors@w3.org">wai-eo-editors@w3.org

next version.)</p>

<p>I appreciate the website: <a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/." rel="nofollow">http://www.w3.org/WAI/.</a> I was wondering about the color choice on that particular website. Is it accessible for color blind people? We have been learning at LearnNC to avoid red and green colors on webpages. I do appreciate the pointers on these pages. Thank you!</p>
