Presentation transcript:

Promoting the Development, Procurement, and Use of Accessible Technologies in the US Sheryl Burgstahler, Director Dan Comden, Access Technology Center Manager Accessible Technology Services, UW-IT

Legal basis for IT accessibility Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and its 2008 Amendments State laws, policies (e.g., WA Policy #188)

What does “accessible” IT mean? “Accessible” means a person with a disability is afforded the opportunity to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services as a person without a disability in an equally effective and equally integrated manner, with substantially equivalent ease of use. The person with a disability must be able to obtain the information as fully, equally and independently as a person without a disability. -DoJ, OCR Resolutions

Approaches to access: Accommodations Universal/inclusive design Both are important!

Universal design = “the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.” - The Center for Universal Design www.design.ncsu.edu/cud
