September Lunch & Learn: Digital Accessibility 101
The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) will host an engaging and informative Lunch & Learn session focused on digital accessibility. The presentation will begin with an overview of blindness etiquette, answering common questions such as: “What should you do if you see a blind person in public who may need help?” or “What is the best way to engage with a blind person who enters our place of business?” Attendees will also explore how individuals who are blind or have low vision navigate digital technology using screen readers and magnification software across platforms—including computers, mobile devices, smart TVs, and smartwatches. The session will include a live demonstration of a popular Windows-based screen reader, showing how it interacts with the web and why accessible websites matter for both users and businesses. A $15 no-show fee will apply. To avoid the fee, please email kaitlyn@huntingtonchamber.org if you are unable to attend. The Lunch & Learn series is made possible thanks to support from Ohio Valley Bank.
