Abstract 1 of 2

You make reports to communicate with data. But what happens if your audience can't read them to get the information they need? Your report design, regardless of the tool used to create it, can affect the usability and accessibility of a report. In this session we'll talk about types of disabilities and how they can affect our interaction with a report. We'll also discuss how we as report designers can make life easier for report consumers with mostly small tweaks to our reports. Demos will be shown in Power BI, but the concepts are applicable to other reporting tools as well.

Abstract 2 of 2

Looking at a premade report I am going to show some of the accessibility issues people may face using the accessibility tools I use. In this there is also going to be a conversation on data collection and the issues surrounding the cisgender heteronormative way we ask questions and then present the data.
