Subject: How to read a VPAT webinar recording and slide deck

Earlier this month, SBCTC hosted a webinar with guest speaker Terrill Thompson from UW.

The webinar was titled, "How to read a VPAT."

Anyone who makes IT procurement decisions is assuming risk on behalf of their institution. As the risk owner, you must take steps to ensure the product or service you're procuring is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. How do you do that? A standard form used by IT vendors to document their level of accessibility is the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). This session will explore VPATs in detail and provide guidance on how to read them, and what you can learn from them, without being an accessibility expert.

  *   You can view the video recording, <https://youtu.be/mNWcAnTVdbM>  How to read a VPAT video recording<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNWcAnTVdbM> <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNWcAnTVdbM> on YouTube.
