Background:
All public institutions are required by law to make their educational experiences accessible to those with disabilities. Anecdotes and research both point to the fact that making materials more accessible helps all students regardless of capabilities. For simple documents that are text and images only this process has been relatively straight forward. However, when we start looking at embedded equations in text it starts to get more complicated. This overview is meant to serve as a brief guide to the issue and give you some recommendations for how to improve your accessibility with documents that contain mathematical equations.
