Accessibility: Graphic Across Spread

I have a graphic that's across the spread and on the right page it's coming up with an error when I check for accessibility in Acrobat. I'm new to accessibility, what's the best way to handle this situation?

And artifact one part of the graphic, put Alt Text on the other.

Then anchor the part with Alt Text into the reading order.

Maybe it will help if you split it into two, separate pieces. 

 

Duplicate your image - make sure that copy is in exactly the same place as the source. 

Then, resize original from one side - crop - towards the spine - do the same for the copy - but from the opposite side. 

They should be flush on the spine.

That worked, thank you both! I have a couple more accessibility questions, I'll post those as new threads.
