Opening Session: The Big Picture of STEM Accessibility

The ATHEN Executive Council will present the opening session titled, "the Big Picture of STEM Accessibility". This Opening Session is designed to provide attendees a cohesive understanding of the complexity of making STEM content accessible, and set forth a common vernacular that conference sessions will build upon. We will share the current foundational definitions, challenges, tools, technologies of the field as we understand them. Great for those newer to the field, as well as those seasoned veterans who may be less familiar with certain STEM accessibility subtopics.
