Course Description and Learning Objectives:
• Do you create program materials for the public, maintain a website, circulate a newsletter or present using PowerPoint at trainings or conferences?
• Information dissemination is an important part of what we do at IDPH but we may be missing
some Iowans with disabilities because our materials are not in an accessible format.
• You may have heard or read that program material must be 508 compliant but are confused
about what that means.
• This training was developed to help you navigate through the expectations of 508
Compliance by creating accessible documents and program materials.
