"How do I balance accessibility with visually engaging slides" -- that's a common concern I hear and maybe you've been worried about this too.

Another way I hear this is when people say "I know my slides are don't have a lot of visuals, but at least they're accessible."

But...are they? Is it true that slides with lots of text and few visuals are accessible? You can tell by the thumbnail and title of this video that no, I don't think that's the case.

This video is part 2 of the first videos in my presentation accessibility series -- a series of videos that does a deep dive into what makes our academic & research presentations inaccessible. And, of course, how to make accessible presentations.

In this video, we continue where we left off by talking about universal learning in design, and why asking to "balance accessibility with visually engaging" is the wrong question to ask.
