Web Accessibility slides
I'm going to give a five-minute presentation tomorrow evening on basic web accessibility (what to do re: designing and developing a website)... Here are the slides: https://slides.com/madelinebernard/webaccessibility
I'm interested in taking feedback on it, if you have any!

In five minutes, you can't say much, and your best bet might be to talk about your paper or digital handout, and where people can find more information.
Some vita points:

About abbr, I was wondering if, for instance, a screen reader would say "eyoc" instead of EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission)... Or some of the other, not so pronounceable acronyms. But yes, sounds like I should just find another example of "uncommon but helpful" HTML tags to use in that point.
Loved the WebAIM surveys, the 2012 #4 one was the most recent one I saw with a "these are the most annoying things" chart.
The Personas link is great, thanks! More directly actionable than the Alphabet of Disability I linked.

The jargon page doesn't seem to add much, for such a short presentation. Are you defining the terms because they are used in the references you point people to, on the last slide? If they're defined on those websites, you don't need to define them before sending people there.
I like the graphic about what causes the most accessibility problems. I'm not a web designer, but I'd find it helpful if there was a more explicit connection between that and the other information. Doing this html thingee avoids that problem people complain about. Maybe it's all obvious to people who work in the field. Some of it is stuff I can make sense of, but it would be a lot clearer if it were organized as "this is what's a problem for screen readers" and "that's a problem for keyboard accessibility" and "this other thing is a problem for photosensitivity."

Great point about the jargon slide, thanks, and about the organizational issues!
I liked the graphic about "what is most annoying" also, I haven't seen other surveys of the sort.
