Building a realistic budget is one of the biggest hurdles that colleges and universities as the ADA Title II deadline gets close.

Join us on Wednesday, December 3rd at 2 PM ET for Episode 2 of our Countdown to Compliance series: a fireside chat with Brian Smith from the University of Florida’s IT Department.

We'll dig into what institutions should plan for and prioritize financially to meet video accessibility requirements.

One critical component of the ADA Title II ruling for video content is the inclusion of audio description. In higher education, rich text diagrams and slide presentations often carry essential information — but only if you can see them.

Audio description allows blind and low-vision students to fully understand visual information that would otherwise be inaccessible.

In our most recent webinar, Erik Ducker broke down the key components of the Title II ruling regarding video accessibility (including audio description) as part of our "Countdown to Compliance" series.

With compliance deadlines coming in April of next year, there is no better time to get acquainted with the new requirements!

The webinar is currently available to view on demand, linked in the comments.

The next "Countdown to Compliance" webinar will be on December 3rd and will focus on building a budget for Title II compliance. The link to register is also in the comments!
