PURPOSE Accessible slides help more people read, understand, and use presentation content. KEY PRACTICES Use readable fonts, strong contrast, meaningful slide titles, logical reading order, alt text for informative images, and captions for media. AVOID Avoid relying on color alone to communicate meaning. Avoid tiny text and crowded layouts. CHECK Use the accessibility checker if available and manually review slide order and image descriptions. BEST PRACTICE Design for accessibility from the start instead of trying to rescue the deck at the end.
