Accessibility

Final submissions must adhere to ACM’s guidelines on accessible PDFs: http://www.sigaccess.org/welcome-to-sigaccess/resources/accessible-pdf-author-guide/

We recommend working accessibility into your submission sooner rather than later, as accessibility can be an issue also for reviewers.

Visual and audio materials must also be made accessible. For instance, videos must have captions describing both the audio and the visuals.
