New York City <http://a11ynyc.com/>* (A11yNYC) will hold its monthly
meetup. This month's presentation is *How Learning ASL Improved my Alt Text
<https://www.meetup.com/A11yNYC/events/236358319/>*. Knowing how to explain
things in an inherently visual language can help to explain visual images
in inherently non-visual ways. The structure of description in American
Sign Language has parallels with the needs of those who can't see an image,
but want to understand it. Speaker *Shaun Lariaut
<https://twitter.com/slauriat>* will explore the basic concepts around alt
text and the basic conceptual structure of visual description, review some
examples, pick apart the process of how each piece fits together, and then
run through a few examples. The session will be webcast live via *A11yNYC
YouTube Channel <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHOYghYYNIM>* with closed
captions.
