*The following are some simple tips for making tweets accessible.*

1. Make sure your profile page includes alternative contact options, like
an accessible "contact us" form or toll-free phone number, or an email link
to somebody who can assist people with questions.
2. Let screen reader users know what to expect by including a short prefix
before tweets that have photos [PIC], videos [VIDEO] or audio [AUDIO].
3. Link back to pages with full captions or transcripts of the photo, video
or audio.
4. To increase readability, place #hashtags or @mentions at the end of the
tweet.
5. Avoid using unfamiliar or hard-to-pronounce acronyms when possible. If
space allows, spell them out.
6. For multi-word hashtags, capitalize the first letters of each section of
a compound word (#LikeThisExample).
7. If possible, test your tweet with assistive technology before posting it.
