September 2025 Webinar: How to Build Accessibility Planning into Your Health Education Training Workflow

RPH Consulting has a webinar collaboration with SOPHE on September 17, 2025.

Designing accessible health education training content has wide-ranging individual and organizational-level benefits. These include compliance with funder and legal requirements, reaching a broader learning audience, creating a better user experience, and shifting from an individual accommodation-based framework to designing for all learners. Unfortunately, accessibility planning is often an afterthought in our workforce development efforts. It is a quick final review to confirm we have video captions or transcripts. It is an item to be checked off before our training or course launches.

Join the webinar and let’s learn together how to change that!

Accessibility Should Not Be an Afterthought: Designing Inclusive Learning Experiences

This week, SOPHE kicked off another National Health Education Week (NHEW). The theme is Advancing Health, Equity and Civil Rights. Over the past year, I have made learning about designing accessible e-learning a professional development priority. Since accessibility is a key component to developing equitable and inclusive learning experiences, it felt like a great fit to write about it during NHEW.

This is definitely not an exhaustive list of where they overlap, but these are some of my favorites!
