40 minutes
“1 out of every 3 households in America interacts regularly with a person with a disability”. –US Social Security Administration
This webinar dives into Web and App Accessibility with regard to compliance, gaining accessibility feedback, and building a program to improve Accessibility throughout your organization.
>>This webinar includes important new updates to Section 508 (‘the 508 Refresh’) of the ADA now law from January18th, 2018.
Accessibility refers to standards and legislative guidelines for optimizing digital products with open access for persons with disabilities. Section 508 (of the ADA Rehabilitation Act) and WCAG 2.0 (from W3C) are the most common guidelines in the United States. Accessibility Testing includes evaluating a website or app with target end-user with disabilities, in order to gain real-world validation and practical feedback on the state of accessibility.
In this webinar, we will discuss what good Accessibility looks like both for users with disabilities as well as for teams working on accessibility for the software they develop. We will cover how to nurture and improve your accessibility program or new efforts with Accessibility improvement.
