Description

This presentation will discuss the new proposed rule from the Department of Justice as well as actions from the Department of Education. We will share thoughts from Penn State University regarding some comparisons of our procedures and processes that have been in place to how the university plans on implementing the new proposed rule into the daily routines of the university. Also to be discussed will be how a Center For Independent Living office in Memphis Tennessee will work to insure the new proposed rule within the websites and documents that the center provides for it’s clients and the information that is given to the public meets all necessary guidelines. All of these pieces are important to examine and to be able to better understand the accessibility of today’s web. By looking at these new proposed rules through several perspectives will show how important creating standards for accessibility really is in today’s society.
