How to Make Your Communication Accessible: The Newly Expanded ACS Inclusivity Style Guide

Inclusive communication considers word choice, formatting, image selection, and the accessibility of your content to all audiences. The term “accessibility” is commonly misunderstood or defined so broadly that it can be difficult for some people to make improvements.
