Is your website accessible? Webinar and resources

CSCP June Webinar: Is Your Website Accessible? How Do You Find Out?
June 5, 2012
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Pacific

In this webinar participants will learn the basics of the web accessibility. A fully accessible website is one in which all visitors, with or without disabilities, using a variety of devices, can easily find the information they're looking for and access all the features of the site. Participants will learn some basic steps they can take to assess whether their website might be excluding particular groups of people and no prior knowledge is required. This webinar will be presented by Terrill Thompson, technology accessibility specialist at the University of Washington, where his work is supported in part by AccessComputing, a project funded by the National Science Foundation to increase the participation of people with disabilities in computing fields.
