Description

Education needs to be accessible to all people, regardless of their abilities. School districts, customers, and legislatures all ask educational institutions to accommodate the diverse needs of students and teachers. Educational organizations can achieve this with an accessibility framework.

McGraw Hill School models a successful accessibility framework; it places accessible products into the hands of students and teachers, increases revenue, and complies with the law. We will delve into four key components of our framework: policy, training, product development, and testing.
