The images you use in your e-learning projects can help others connect with your content. People with disabilities—whether visible or invisible—make up about 20% of the population, which is one reason to include more representative images in your online training. This collection of characters with disabilities was made using shapes in Storyline 360 and icons from Content Library 360. It includes medical devices—such as a walking stick, two wheelchairs, a walking boot, a prosthesis, a probing cane, and underarm and forearm crutches—plus a guide dog. Download this file to change the colors and edit the characters and devices to make your projects more inclusive.
