Before the Meeting: Documents
Use layout out tools.
Y Y
A good layout shows the order in which the content should be read and how the sections relate
to each other. The program you use for your documents already has great built-in functionality
to organize the layout with headings, lists, columns, and everything you could need.
Use the formatting functions to make your documents easier to follow, for example by using
subheadings or bullets to break up long sections of text, but not so much that it looks
overwhelming.
Avoid "quick fixes" such as adding extra spaces to adjust alignment or using dashes instead of
bullets. Such shortcuts may confuse screen readers,whereas using headings and lists correctly
will enable them to easily navigate through the sections of your content.
4 i
Before the Meeting: Presentation
Keep it simple, not flashy.
Avoid animated slide transitions, auto-scrolling text or images, and other frills.
For people with visual challenges, and screen readers, these embellishments
distract from the message rather than enhancing it. Most importantly, do not
use blinking images: three or more flashes per second could trigger a seizure.
Use plain language, avoid jargon, and include alt text and captions for graphics
and infographic.
4 i
Before the Meeting: Presentation
Use strong color contrast.
Make sure the colors you choose for your document's background, text, and
links have optimal contrast for users who are colorblind or have other reading
difficulties. A color contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for text and background and a color
contrast ratio of 3:1 for headings and background is recommended.
Use WebAim Contrast Checker or Adobe Color to test color contrast.
4 i
Before the Meeting: Materials
Distribute all materials ahead of time.
Give people enough time to look at the materials before they meet. The presentation you share
through the video link will not be accessible to screen readers. Sharing in advance,in accessible
formats,will benefit everyone by allowing participants to review the docs and prepare their
questions.
Use large, clear fonts. Use a plain font with slightly larger than usual text. A sans serif typeface
like Arial with a size of 14 pt or more typically does well. ALL CAPS, underline, and italics will
make documents more difficult to read. Avoid them except when necessary, such as for
acronyms, or where the extra visual cue is important. For example,if you include a hyperlink,
you should not only use a color that contrasts strongly with the rest of the text but make it
bold or underlined for people who may not distinguish the colors so easily. It also helps to use
CamelCase for URLs and hashtags: #SaltLakeCity #EquityAndInclusion
4 i
During the Meeting
Use sign language interpreters and captions, when possible.
To add captions, live captioning (known as CART) is always best, but there are
now AI-powered services that connect into video conferencing programs.
For example, Otter.ai will provide up to 600 minutes of transcription per
month for free. Let people know ahead of time which accommodations are and
are not available.
4 i
During the Meeting
Keep chat to a minimum.
The chat feature in a video conference may seem a great way to comment
without interrupting the speaker, but it can be very disruptive for people who
rely on a screen reader.
Remind participants to use chat sparingly, and if you do use it — for example,
to share resource URLs — try to do so at the beginning or end of the session.
4 i
During the Meeting
Follow etiquette and speak clearly.
Use the Hands Up button when you want to speak, and only do so when you
are acknowledged; never interrupt. Say who you are. Speak slowly, enunciate
clearly, and get to the point. Pause for a beat or two between sentences to allow
time for translators and captions to catch up.
Video conferencing has made it easier to apply meeting protocols, for example
by muting everyone until it's their turn to speak.Just be sure the host knows
how to use the system.
4 i
During the Meeting
Use headphones and a mic.
Using a headset with a built-in microphone will make it easier to hear what
you're saying and to create captions. It also prevents feedback loops and filters
out background noise.
Record and share meetings.
Review the Al captions and make edits before sharing.
4 i
Summary
• Ask people what they want.
• Make all communication clear and to the point.
• Use the technology that's there to help.
• Share material before and after.
• Be considerate and open to feedback.

2022 Annual Report
A Message from the Chair
On behalf of the Vice Chair, and the entire Accessibility and Disability Commission, it
has been an honor to serve as Chair for our inaugural year.After becoming codified and
all members of the Commission received their appointments, we held our first meeting
in June of 2022. Our Commission consists of individuals who represent many different
disabilities living and working in our capital city. Our goal is to bring awareness and
foster inclusion for all people with disabilities and to advance Mayor Mendenhall's
equity plan.We have created a list of priorities that include training of Salt Lake City
Airport staff on how to recognize and respond to an epileptic incident,bringing
inclusion to the Arts by bringing Audio Description to Eccles Theater and other venues
for blind and low vision citizens, and making a recommendation for a city ordinance to
encourage all businesses with public televisions to activate the closed captioning setting
for deaf and hard of hearing citizens. The ADC is also working with our city's staff on
snow removal awareness on our city's sidewalks and providing knowledge, skills, and
best practice for accessibility for software and applications used by the city.
We are proud and grateful to our ADA Coordinator,Ashley Lichtle. We look forward to
continuing our work for all disabled citizens in our capital city in 2023.
