For Cisco Networking Academy, accessibility means providing ‘access’ to our curricula for people with disabilities There are several types of disabilities, including: Visual – such as blind, low vision, color blindness Hearing and speech – deaf, hard of hearing, mute Physical – mobility and dexterity impairment The accessible CCNA curricula will conform with exceptions to U.S. and international guidelines including: Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (U.S.) Americans with Disabilities Act (U.S.) W3C- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (Global) Most countries have employment, design and manufacture, and procurement laws similar to ADA and Section 508 - we highlighted these laws as they are the most typical and stringent
