SUMMARY:Designing With\, Not Around\, Disabled Learners: A Screen-Reader De
 mo Experience
DESCRIPTION:This session will demonstrate why screen-reader access is impor
 tant when designing learning materials\, especially Open Educational Resou
 rces. Have you ever wanted to know how people who are visually impaired or
  totally blind access your content? Come to this session and I\, a visuall
 y impaired screen-reader user and an accessibility expert myself\, will de
 monstrate for you the experience of a blind person navigating websites and
  digital materials. The session will connect these examples to the four pr
 inciples of accessibility: perceivable\, operable\, user-friendly\, and re
 al. We will also discuss reasonable accommodations and why accessibility m
 ust be built into course design rather than added later. Throughout the se
 ssion\, participants will be invited to reflect\, ask questions\, and reth
 ink their own materials. By the end\, they will leave with practical strat
 egies for creating learning spaces that are genuinely inclusive for screen
  reader users.
