OHIO’s Digital Accessibility Network
The OHIO Digital Accessibility Network (OHIO-DAN) is a university-wide group of staff, faculty, students, and leaders learning and working together to make digital tools and content more accessible for people with disabilities.
This year, we’re excited to launch 'The Accessibility Habit,' a year-long program inspired by the habit stacking concept from James Clear’s Atomic Habits. By building simple, effective habits, we can create more inclusive digital spaces. We encourage participants to read or explore a summary of Atomic Habits to see how small, consistent changes can lead to meaningful progress.
Join the OHIO DAN today and participate in our monthly Teams meeting on the last Thursday of the month at 4:00 P.M. eastern time. We also post weekly tips, digital accessibility news and learning opportunities, and provide a chance for you to share insights and ask questions on the Teams channel.
Here are a few resources to get started on your journey:
