Accessible Theme

I just switched to an accessible theme, Twenty Twenty, but in the process I lost many of my media and interactive elements on the pages. It will take time, but I am slowly starting to rebuild everything. My goal is to upgrade this website so that it is accessible to people who use screen readers and other accessibility software and to people using computers, tablets, and smartphones.

I also noticed that the new theme rerouted many of my links. I have already changed one page where someone else’s paper appeared instead of mine. I am going to have to go through each page to make sure that all links and embedded content are accurate. I apologize that changing themes created so many problems, but I promise to fix everything as quickly as my schedule permits.

Please, be patient with me as these improvements will take time to implement. Thank you.

I am a special education teacher who supervised a technology lab for twenty five years. The lab had specialized software, adapted mice, additional adapted hardware, and picture symbol communication aids for students whose significant disabilities made it difficult for them to use the general computer lab. I taught students who could not climb the stairs to my lab in their classrooms. I also assisted teachers and other personnel in my school with their technology needs as time permitted. Before moving to the technology lab, I was a classroom teacher with a classroom computer that students and staff could use. Now, I am a semi-retired substitute teacher.
