Google Accessibility for Students

Google Workspace provides a variety of tools to make your course content accessible.  Taking the time to make your content accessible from the beginning provides an inclusive learning environment for all. 

The Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) has created these guides to support students when they create accessible  Google content.  Instructors are encouraged to share this page in their classes. 

If you are a student and have a physical, psychological, medical, or learning disability that may impact your course work, please contact the Student Accessibility Support Center, Stony Brook Union Suite 107, (631) 632-6748, or at sasc@stonybrook.edu. They will determine with you what accommodations are necessary and appropriate. All information and documentation is confidential.

Grackle Workspace

Grackle Workspace is an accessibility add-on suite for Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. It's designed to help users create accessible digital content directly within the Google Workspace environment. The tool scans content for common accessibility issues like missing alt text, poor heading structure, and color contrast problems. It provides guided  instructions to fix these issues, making it simple to remediate content to meet standards, like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) .

If you have suggestions for additional guides, please reach out by emailing us at celt@stonybrook.edu.
