The world of web accessibility is frequently changing. As new technologies are created and Internet use continues to increase, new standards and protocols are developed to ensure applications and websites are accessible for users with disabilities.

Whether you’re a top executive of an organization, or the developer of its website, you may wish to enhance your skills and experience to not only benefit your organization, but its users and visitors with disabilities as well.

Throughout this training, the goal is to educate on how to eliminate barriers that prevent individuals with disabilities from accessing a website’s content or other digital files.

Web Accessibility Compliance Legislation

If your website is not accessible, not only are you preventing users with disabilities from accessing your content, but you’re also at risk of potential civil rights violations. ADA federal lawsuits regarding web accessibility are growing more frequent and the Department of Justice is actively pursuing them. Not only are is this urgent but it can costly to an organization as well.

Overview of Assistive Technology

If you are already familiar with the basics of web accessibility and the laws surrounding it but are interesting in learning more about assistive technologies, such as screen reader software, web accessibility training courses can help.

Screen reading software is a crucial component of web accessibility. This type of software runs alongside an operating system to read what is displayed on the screen. This type of assistive technology is essential to visually impaired users. If your website has barriers that prevent this assistive technology from being utilized, a visually impaired user wouldn’t be capable of accessing your content.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 3.4 million Americans, ages 40 years or older, are visually impaired or legally blind.
Without assistive technology compatibility, you may be limiting your organization’s ability to reach millions. At ADA FOR WEB Web Solutions, we provide in-depth, training on ways to incorporate user-testing by individuals with disabilities, to confirm that assistive technologies are performing adequately.

Implementing Organizational Policy to Support Web Accessibility

Through the act of incorporating and implementing web accessibility as a standard of practice in your organization, you’ll become an advocate for accessibility, which has been proven beneficial in preventing future issues and complaints from occurring.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community that develops protocols and guidelines to protect the long-term growth of the Internet. W3C recommends that an organizational policy should be developed to address conformance level issues, develop ongoing promotion plans to address changes over time and provide a range of training options to increase organizational awareness.
