Presentation Accessibility

EMDRIA™ staff would like for everyone to be able to comprehend your presentation. Please follow the tips in this handout to create a more accessible presentation.

Bibliography

Each presentation needs a bibliography in APA format with at least three (3) citations from a peer-reviewed journal no older than 10 years. Please indicate which citations meet this criteria on the Citation Form.

Before you get started, watch this short video explanation.

Presentation Templates

Please use one of these three presentation templates. Each session needs to have a visual presentation (PowerPoint, Canva, Keynote, Google Slides, Prezi, etc.).

We ask EMDRIA™ event speakers to use these templates to ensure consistency in accessibility and branding across all presentations. The templates help ensure that slides meet accessibility standards—like proper contrast, readable fonts, and structured layouts—so that all attendees, including those with visual or cognitive impairments, can fully engage with the content. It also makes it easier for speakers to focus on their message without worrying about design details.

Note: these templates can be opened with PowerPoint, Canva, Keynote (Mac), and Google Slides. 

Handouts

Please provide your PowerPoint presentation as a handout. Submit it as a PDF and put only two slides per page.
