While it has proven to be an invaluable tool for providing dynamic content on the web, it can be a barrier if that content is not made accessible. Fortunately, Flash has built-in accessibility features that, with planning and implementation, can make your content available to a wide range of users. </div><div>We will cover the following topics:</div><div>- planning for accessibility</div><div>- adding captions</div><div>- adding accessibility features such as label, tab indexes</div><div>- adding text for screen reader users</div><div>- user testing</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to seeing you there!</div><div>Lisa</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div class="AppleMailSignature" id="53D03D9F-F582-418C-ACBD-CFF797C46B60"><div style="; font-family: Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; ">Lisa C.
