When you are called upon to create electronic resources such as presentations, spreadsheets, Word or PDF documents, it’s best to plan for accessibility at the outset of your creative process. This will help ensure that your documents are accessible to all users, including those who use assistive technologies such as a screen readers, and will also save you time and frustration.

These Universal Design Measures Checklists can help you ensure that your electronic documents are accessible for everyone:

    •    Microsoft Word document checklist
    •    Google Docs checklist
    •    Microsoft PowerPoint checklist
    •    Google Slides checklist
    •    PDF document checklist
    •    Spreadsheet table guidelines
