Tutorial Accessibility

We’ve built these LEAP Online Tutorials to be as easy to use as possible. You can use the Read Aloud feature in Microsoft Edge to listen to the content on each page, and all our videos have transcripts available through the Closed Captions button [CC] within the video player. If you’d like a printed version, you can print individual pages. But before you do, please think about whether you really need to print — going digital is often the more sustainable choice for the environment.
