There are many disabilities that are not always apparent to others. NCHPAD’s Invisible Disabilities Series brings these experiences into focus through podcasts, articles, educational resources and personal perspectives to build understanding and help break down barriers to inclusion.
In this toolkit, you will find social media content that is ready to post and the best ways to share it!
Sharing Our Message with Everyone: Accessibility Best Practices
We want to ensure everyone can easily participate in the movement to raise awareness about #InvisibleDisabilities! Here are some inclusive tips to use when promoting content!
- Alt Text/Image Descriptions: Provide clear and concise alt text for all images, briefly describing the content and its relevance to the post.
- Use Captions: Include captions for videos and live streams and consider providing downloadable transcripts for extended video content.
- Clear Communication: Communicate in simple terms, avoiding technical language and jargon. Keep your sentences brief and straightforward for easy understanding.
- Hashtags: Using camel case will help make hashtags more readable (e.g., #CommitToInclusion). This helps screen readers announce them clearly. Our series hashtag is #InvisibleDisabilities.
- Limit Emojis: Emojis, while enjoyable, should be used in moderation and placed at the end of sentences. Refrain from depending on them to convey your message.
- Color Contrast: Color contrast between text and background on images helps with readability.
