Accessibility Resources for Office 365

By

Office 365

All customers in the UT Dallas community were upgraded to Microsoft Teams for instant messaging and collaboration. In addition to the tools that Teams provides, there are also helpful accessibility resources for the features within the Office 365 applications for our customers with low or no vision, and those who are deaf and/or hard of hearing.

With more than 1 billion people in the world with disabilities, there is no limit to what people can achieve when technology reflects the diversity of all those who use it. OIT is committed to making its Electronic and Information Resources (EIRs) accessible to our customers with diverse abilities in the UT Dallas community.

Where can I find information on Office 365 accessibility?

OIT has created an Accessibility Resources for Office 365 page to provide important information for visual impairment and deaf/hard of hearing resources for Office 365. In addition, Microsoft also has a dedicated accessibility website that serves as a portal for finding their help resources for accessibility.

The Office of Information Technology has developed a playlist focused on accessibility within the Microsoft 365 products. The recordings are intended to assist you in making your Microsoft 365 content more accessible to all users and also help you create, view, and edit documents that meet accessibility requirements. We hope these resources will be beneficial to you as you continue to learn about accessibility.
