Title II Resources

Overview

This page describes key aspects of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and resources to assist UTMB Staff and Students to create accessible content.

What is Title II?

Title II requires public entities to ensure that all digital content—including email, documents, mobile applications, websites, videos, and social media—is accessible to people with disabilities. This includes individuals who use screen readers or alternative input devices, rely on captions, or have visual, cognitive, or neurological disabilities.

What is Digital Accessibility?

Digital accessibility (abbreviated as a11y, commonly pronounced "accessibility") is the practice of creating equal access to digital content for our patients, staff, students, and others that consume our content. We accomplish this by removing technical barriers in our electronic content so it can be consumed and understood by the broadest possible audience.  The first step in the a11y process is to understand what's needed and the methodologies for meeting those goals.
