Good reasons to sign up for Office Hours   for Sign up for office hours with the accessibility team

Let's say you are working on a project and aren't sure how to make something digitally accessible. Maybe you have questions like:

  • Should this image have alt text, or should it be marked as decorative?
  • How can I make this chart/graph more accessible?
  • Is this form labeled correctly for screen readers?
  • I have a design/pattern in Figma, can you review it?
  • I've coded this page/component, but it is announcing with NVDA incorrectly. Can you look at my HTML?

Keep in mind each slot is 10 minutes, so we will not be able to review entire documents or experiences in that time. 

You do not need to sign up to learn by what others are asking, please feel free to attend. Be respectful of those who have signed up for slots due to the limited time. If you have a related follow-up question to that topic that hasn't been answered, you can place those questions in the Q&A.
