Updated Accessibility Quick Cards

New practices, new cards.

9/24/2025 1:35:09 PM

A set of five accessibility quick cards are laid out on a desk with a keyboard, glasses, and a notebook in the background. The cards are designed for different software programs, including Windows, Microsoft PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, and Microsoft Word. Each card has its own color-coded header, with icons representing the respective programs (keyboard icon for Windows, PowerPoint logo, Acrobat logo, and Word logo).

Minnesota's Office of Accessibility (OoA), along with a cross-functional group of state agency Digital Accessibility Coordinators and subject matter experts, has updated our Accessibility Quick Reference Cards (Quick Cards).

These updates reflect:

  • Changes to each application.
  • The state's adoption of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.
  • Current accessibility best practices.

We also revised the content to use plain language and active voice, making the cards easier to understand and apply.

These streamlined, easy-to-use cards support any accessibility training you use, including those on our website. They offer quick reminders and practical tips to help you apply accessibility best practices in your daily work. Some people like a quick overview before exploring a topic in depth, while others just need a fast refresher on a digital accessibility basic. The Quick Cards are designed to support both.

Where to find the Quick Cards

Whether you're working in Microsoft Office, Adobe tools, or designing content for the web or social media, these cards can support you in creating more inclusive digital experiences.
