Ensuring Websites Are Accessible To Everyone

The Accessible World News Wire:  February 6, 2008 Indianapolis, Indiana USA


Probably the most talked about topic among computer users of assistive
devices is the inaccessibility of many websites. Unfortunately, for most the
talk is just that:  Talk. During the upcoming Accessible World Tek Talk
online event, however, you will have the privilege of meeting a technology
expert who has done much more than talk about the problem. He has developed
core technology and led the development of InFocus(tm), the industry's first
commercial software for testing Web accessibility.

Tim Springer, co-founder of SSB Bart Group and the chief architect of the
Accessibility Management Platform and SSB's proprietary accessibility
assessment methodology, will provide an overview of the issues that are
involved in ensuring web accessibility. This will include relevant national
and international legislation, common Accessibility issues on the Web today,
an Overview of SSB BART Group, and methods for determining the accessibility
of a web site.

Following the presentation, the virtual audience can ask more specific
questions about issues relating to ensuring the accessibility of web based
interfaces to users with disabilities.
