Accessible & Assistive Technology Training

The Texas Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities is proud to host these learning modules on the use of assistive technology for accessing documents. These modules were created by a multi-agency team of accessibility professionals. Accessible documents are more portable and usable for everyone, not just people with disabilities because accessible documents work better across all web browsers, computer systems, and other devices. Ensuring that your documents are made in an accessible manner provides everyone with an equal opportunity to access information from your agency, program or service. The Committee encourages widespread use of these modules by public and private entities.
