Please, I would like all the information, background, and tips that
everyone can possibly provide.

I am preparing a presentation that will be delivered to academic
affairs/professionals within the university system in the state.

Topics: Section 508, W3C, and WCAG—inclusive design.
Context: These are leaders, decision makers, and influential players
within the university state system who do not know as much as they
should about inclusive design/print-related disabilities, are mostly
starting from scratch, and need to get a major crash course.

Thank you!!!

We just had a big conversation with Penn State about some of these topics
(I work for Cengage, a textbook and educational software publisher). My
focus is on the interactive behaviors of Rich Internet Apps that deliver
the contents and how these things can break screen readers if done poorly
or without proper QA practices. If you want, I can send you some stuff
strictly on that issue, if it would help.
