Social Media

Like all other online content, our social media posts must be accessible. Each social media platform provides options for adding accessibility to your posts.

Social Media Best Practices

  • Keep your formatting simple.
  • Write image descriptions for photos and other static visuals.
  • Use #camelCase or #PascalCase for hashtags.
  • Add captions to all video content.
  • Create audio or written descriptions for video content.
  • Use emojis in moderation. If you do use them, put them at the end of your posts.
  • Use inclusive language and avoid ableist words.
  • Avoid using or sharing content with ASCII art.
  • Don't copy and paste alternative characters from external sites.
