BMAC-ATP also provides one-on-one document accessibility training, document accessibility modular training, accessibility resources, captioning support, and group demonstration sessions for students, faculty, staff, and campus partners, who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in using assistive technology and accessible digital content.
