How to fill out making content accessible communications:

1. Understand the guidelines: Familiarize yourself with the guidelines and best practices for making content accessible. This includes understanding accessibility standards such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and Section 508.
2. Use proper formatting: Format your content in a way that is easy to read and understand. Use headings, subheadings, bullet points, and numbered lists to organize your content. This helps users with assistive technologies to navigate through the content more easily.
3. Provide alternative text for images: Images should have alternative text (alt text) that describes the content of the image. This is particularly important for individuals with visual impairments who rely on screen readers to read the content aloud.
4. Caption videos: If you have videos in your content, make sure to provide captions or transcripts. This ensures that individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing can access the information presented in the video.

Screen reader users often navigate through links, so providing descriptive link text helps them understand where the link will take them.
