Everyone needs access to digital information provided by the World Wide Web. However, many websites have subtle barriers that prevent people with disabilities from using content. Fortunately, accessibility is not difficult to implement, and most accessibility features do not require significant changes to the visual presentation. The next webinar in the U.S. Access Board's free monthly series will take place May 5 from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. (CT) and will review what web accessibility is, how people with disabilities use the web, how to quickly identify accessibility barriers, and what some simple solutions are. Access Board IT Specialist Bruce Bailey will also clarify common sources of confusion about web accessibility and provide key resources for learning more about website accessibility.
