Which practices help ensure accessibility for participants with visual impairments during presentations?

• A. Describe slides verbally and provide alt-text, with high-contrast visuals and large fonts.
• B. Use high-contrast visuals, provide alt-text, offer large fonts, describe slides verbally, and provide accessible materials.
• C. Use low-contrast visuals to challenge perception.
• D. Provide only text-based slides with no narration.

Answer: (B)

Making presentations accessible to participants with visual impairments means presenting information in multiple ways so everyone can access it. Describing slides verbally helps convey what visuals show, even for those who can’t view them. Alt-text on images and graphics provides a textual description that screen readers can read aloud. High-contrast visuals and large fonts improve readability for people with low vision. Providing accessible materials, like properly tagged slides and documents, allows participants to review content with assistive technologies. Together, these practices ensure information is conveyed during the presentation and remains accessible afterward. Relying on low-contrast visuals or slides that are only text with no narration leaves important content out of reach for many participants, which is why the combination of verbal description, alt-text, accessible visuals, large fonts, and accessible materials is the best approach.
