Adobe Connect 8 includes screen reader accessibility options. If a user still experiences problems after implementing these recommendations, consider using a telephone for audio. Other options include an accessible text chat, or a voice chat client such as Skype, which has JAWS scripts available.
Users with hearing disabilities will have problems with audio (unless the chat is captioned), but may be able to use text chat and images to participate. See Adobe's Connect Closed Captioning Pod page for information on arranging live captions, or contact meeting@psu.edu.
Videos recorded in Adobe Connect can be downloaded as Flash (FLV) files and captioned. Files may need to be posted outside of Adobe Connect after an event. For information on downloading video files, contact meeting@psu.edu.
If you are screen sharing a document, such as a Word file or a Web site, consider enlarging the text to enhance legibility. You can also instruct users to click the Full Screen button beneath the shared document (in the "Share Pod").
If your presentation includes a PowerPoint file with images, then include alternative text or text descriptions for images. Transitions like flying bullet points should be minimized, since the animation for each bullet point is assigned its own slide.
