Roles Hub

Plays (sets of instructions) for each role for creating accessible content.

Overview

This page links to playbooks for each role. These playbooks provide plays (sets of instructions) for creating accessible content. Specialized roles such as Developers, Video Creators, etc., need methods specific to their responsibilities; techniques called power plays.

Remember!
Just like security, digital accessibility requirements will evolve as software and technology develop.
