STEM disciplines have unique accessibility challenges. Select your field below for guidance specific to the types of content you create.

Cross-Cutting Topics

Many accessibility techniques apply across disciplines. If you teach physics, you’ll also benefit from the mathematics section for equation guidance. If you use data visualization in any field, check the economics section for chart description strategies.

Common Challenges Across STEM

• Complex Images — Charts, graphs, diagrams, and scientific illustrations
• Mathematical Notation — Equations, formulas, and symbolic content
• Technical Diagrams — Schematics, flowcharts, and process diagrams
• Data Visualization — Making quantitative visuals accessible
