Description

Embedding data visualizations from third-party tools into websites often leads to inaccessible user experiences. This session focuses on our efforts to overcoming this challenge by creating custom Drupal components that ensure a seamless experience for everyone, including those who rely on assistive technology. We'll go beyond colorblind palettes and demonstrate the challenges of creating interactive data visualizations that are truly inclusive. Join us for a live demo where we'll navigate embedded data visualizations using a screen reader so that you experience the challenges firsthand. We'll demonstrate how our custom Drupal modules can convert the visualizations into webpages that work for everyone.
