Accessible Communications

Accessibility is essential for some and useful for all. We can help you ensure your marketing and communication materials are clear and accessible. We encourage every State employee, not just those in designated communications roles, to learn how to create accessible communication materials.

As a State employee, you may be responsible for sharing vital information with the public. It's important to share this information in an understandable way. One in four Vermonters has a disability. It's critical that people with disabilities can access the systems, services, and communications your agency or department provides. Below are resources and guidelines to assist with learning about communications accessible.
