It is for every early career professional & student who has submitted their work while sharing their thread more broadly

It is for researchers to network with our presenters

It is for schools to retweet their students

I just stumbled upon @IncludEduOnline and everyone, it is amazing. It's FREE and it suggests extensions, online tools, etc for different disabilities. You can search by disability (sensory processing) and then by Mac/PC/Google.

What is color contrast? It is a color ratio between the background and foreground on a webpage. Adequate color contrast can make a platform accessible to users who have difficult interpreting text on a page.
