The goal of UMass STRIVES for Accessibility is to break down the most important accessibility practices for instructors. 

Use these pages to learn each step, refer back when needed, or help as you build or remediate content. Get started by choosing a step below

What to Expect

Each step explains an Accessibility Practice that is important for instructional content, Why It Improves Accessibility, How To guidance (including how to use UMass tools, step-by-step, to make the process more efficient), and a Five-Minute Fix to make an improvement right now, because every step forward counts.

Get One STRIVES Step Each Week

Learning and applying digital accessibility is an ongoing practice, not a one-time push. Let us help you pace out the work to make it sustainable.

We offer these steps as a series of seven emails. We will send you guidance on how to apply one accessibility step. Try it out over the course of the week, and then get a new step the next week.
