I asked a question to the collective wisdom of my LinkedIn connections recently, and it sparked a great conversation and research into accessible presentation software. Here’s what I found comparing accessibility features of some of the major presentation software platforms: AhaSlides, Poll Everywhere, Mentimeter, and Slido.
The Inclusive Speaker by Denis Boudreau has been on my radar for a bit, and I got to finally finish up reading on my flight back from New Orleans last weekend.
I have to start by saying, I really wanted to be able to recommend this book. I went in with the highest of hopes, imagining myself sharing this book with my speaker’s community and creating a wave of more disability-inclusive speakers. Since I speak on accessibility and disability inclusion, other speakers often ask me what they can do better to reach these audience members. This book has some good wisdom, but is in other places… problematic.
