This is a great resource to use when creating accessible tri-fold brochures. Individuals who read print or use a screen reader can view the same document. Important tagged elements for all in the document are headings, a logical reading order, easy to read print size/color/color contrast, predictable tables, and pictures with alternative descriptions.

As someone who has never made a brochure, I found this template very useful. For the most part this template was through written communication. There were a couple images shown to display how the brochure would function, though for the most part that was lacking. It would have been nice to see the the process of creating a brochure in images (i.e. have an actual brochure being displayed based on the steps given).

This resource does a great job of telling someone how to create an accessible tri-fold brochure. The document does a good job of incorporating images to help clarify what it is instructing the individual to do. This can help aid those who are more visual learners. Consistent layout with headings and accessible font type and size.

It took me several years of struggling with the heavy door to my building, sometimes having to wait until a person stronger came along, to realize that the door was an accessibility problem, not only for me, but for others as well. And I did not notice, until one of my students pointed it out, that the lack of signs that could be read from a distance at my university forced people with mobility impairments to expend a lot of energy unnecessarily, searching for rooms and offices. Although I have encountered this difficulty myself on days when walking was exhausting to me, I interpreted it, automatically, as a problem arising from my illness (as I did with the door), rather than as a problem arising from the built environment having been created for too narrow a range of people and situations.
