PowerPoint Accessibility

Students, faculty, and staff can create accessible Microsoft PowerPoint presentations or remediate inaccessible PowerPoint presentations.

An accessible PowerPoint draws on techniques for creating accessible media, multimedia, and documents. Please visit the Documents and Media and Multimedia sections to learn more about creating accessible documents and media.

To learn more about accessible PowerPoints, go through this checklist from the Social Security Administration or read this article from Microsoft. Microsoft also provides some accessible templates for PowerPoint to help you design presentations.

Use the Check Accessibility tool to determine accessibility issues with your PowerPoint and follow the prompts to fix any issues. The Check Accessibility tool is located under File > Info > Check for Issues in Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 and under Review in Office 365.

Additional information can be found on the IT accessibility website's PowerPoint page.
