SUMMARY:The Born-Accessible Design Approach: Cost-Effective, Inclusive, Compliant
DESCRIPTION:Section 508 Best Practices Webinar Series\nTuesday, January 20, 2026 | 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM Eastern Time | 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM Central Time\nNOTE TIME CHANGE: This 90-minute session will begin at 12:30 PM Eastern Time and 11:30 AM Central Time.\nSponsored by the Great Lakes ADA Center, the U.S. Access Board and the ADA National Network (ADANN).

In contrast, the born-accessible approach ensures that accessibility is built in from the start, by involving people with disabilities at every stage of design, development, and procurement. This user-centered strategy improves productivity, enhances user experience, reduces costs, and helps meet legal and regulatory requirements. Join us to explore practical frameworks, key components, and emerging research to help make born-accessible design a key part of your digital accessibility strategy.\nReal-Time Captioning and Video Sign Language will be provided.\nIndividuals may submit questions in advance of the session during the registration process.\nContinuing Education Credit: ACTCP (1.5 Credit Hours); Certificate of Attendance.\nSpeakers:\n\nJonathan Lazar, PhD, LLM ( https://www.accessibilityonline.org/speakers/speaker.aspx?id=11148&ret=The%20Born-Accessible%20Design%20Approach:%20Cost-Effective,%20Inclusive,%20Compliant ), Professor, College of Information, University of Maryland\nKyle Shachmut, Ph.D.  ( https://www.accessibilityonline.org/speakers/speaker.aspx?id=11149&ret=The%20Born-Accessible%20Design%20Approach:%20Cost-Effective,%20Inclusive,%20Compliant ), Senior Director, Digital Accessibility Services, Harvard University\n\n
