Disabled individuals are important and necessary contributors to and consumers of research, yet they are often excluded from academic spaces. Here at CURL, we want to reduce barriers to participation and welcome the disability community to comfortably access, participate in, and benefit from our events.<\/p>\n
You can help! We ask that CURL conference presenters consider ways in which they can make their work more accessible.<\/p>\n
We’ve compiled suggestions below that can apply to any event with presentations, and we strongly recommend you do further reading at the links provided. You have valuable things to teach\u2014and everyone deserves to learn!<\/p>\n

Using too many slides with lots of small text creates a barrier for people with visual impairments, yet using too few slides with vague, overly simple text creates a barrier for people with hearing problems and people with auditory processing delays! These needs don’t have to be contradictory: sort through them by clarifying your goals.<\/p>\n
