Writers

Writing does not always pertain to creative writing with books, poems, or scripts. It also includes blog posts, homework assignments, research papers, emails, instructional guides, course pages, social media posts, and more. Given the nature of most assistive technologies, text-based media is considered the most accessible form of multimedia. It can be read aloud by screen readers, braille output devices, and screen magnifiers.

While you may already consider spelling, grammar, punctuation, and citations in your work, you should also consider the common accessibility standards of heading structure, lists, font styles, hyperlinks, color contrast, and use of language.
