Abstract Description : There are benefits for ALL students when we proactively design learning environments and resources that are accessible. With simple but effective best practices, we can begin to remove barriers to learning with digital content. These improvements will benefit all learners, including students with disabilities, language needs, and varying learning styles. Designing accessible resources requires time, resources, and knowledge to implement. Our Level 1 "Low Effort, High Impact" tips can help any educator or team get started! Participants will have a chance to apply the tips learned and engage in guided reflection, and will leave with resources for continued exploration of accessibility best practices and tools.
