Regardless, explain all images regardless of how obvious you think they are including context, reference to source material etc. Describe pertinent parts of graphics, videos, and other visuals. Describe them to the extent needed to understand the presentation. (You usually do not need to describe decorative images.). 104 104 83 +Remember when asking for people to raise their hands you need to describe the reaction.When using graphs describe the most important point which the graph demonstrates, make sure all labels are as large as possible. twice as large as you think they should be!

Allowing for the time it takes to translate.

It may need to be larger than you think. Check that labels are in clear language and large font. 91 +Repeat questions from the audience, not everyone will hear the question, which makes the answer unintelligible. 116 116 117 -(% style="line-height:1.38" %) 118 -(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Avoid 3D graphs and pie charts, these are hard to read. 93 +speak slowly and clearly - this helps with interpreter / lip readers / 2nd language / cognitive impairments. Your delivery will seem slower than it is if you are nervous: slow down. Sign language interpretation means that someone who needs this can only focus on one thing at a time (presenter, interpreter, or slide) and translation takes time so allow for this when referring to slides. Pause between slides - give people time to process the information. 119 119 120 -(% style="line-height:1.38" %) 121 -(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Avoid including complex graphs to convey information. Explain information about the data simply, introducing 1 piece of information at a time. This reduces cognitive load for your audience. 95 +Pause at the start of each slide to allow for deaf and hard of hearing to read it. Then start by reading it for the blind or partially sighted. 122 122 97 +Face your audience, as close as possible - helps especially with lip-readers, but we all have less cognitive load when we can see the face of the person speaking. 123 123 124 - ==={{id name="#8"/}}8.Donot use manyGIFs andanimations.===99 +Use a mic. Some assistive tech will require it. For example: ALDs/hearing loops and remote CART writers. 125 125 126 - (%style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:14pt; font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;white-space:pre-wrap"%)Thesecanbedistracting,especiallyif theyloop. Alwaysexplainwhatis happening.101 +Take audience questions via a mic so that everyone can hear. Note that asking questions in a crowd can be intimidating and hard for many reasons like disability - consider using alternatives like Slido so people can type their questions. Avoid "Can you hear me OK?" This is not a question everyone will be comfortable replying to. 127 127 103 +Test the amplification, speakers, and mics before the talk. 128 128 129 - === {{idame="#9"/}}9.Usecaptionsforvideocontent.===105 +don't use pointers on your slides - they are distracting 130 130 131 -(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:18.6667px; white-space:pre-wrap" %)This allows deaf attendees to access the information provided through video, if they are able to read. 132 132 133 -(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Having explanations of video content ready also helps you as a presenter, if they do not load or play properly. 134 134 135 135 136 -=== {{id name="#10"/}}10.
