SCATP Seeking Web Testers

logo of the south carolina assistive technology program
The SC Assistive Technology Advisory Committee of the Office of the Chief Information Officer of the SC Budget and Control Board, is beginning a pilot program to train people who use assistive technology to evaluate state agency web pages for accessibility and usability.

We're looking for people who are proficient in using assistive technology to access the Internet. We need people who have the ability to learn the basics of accessibility and usability (with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act as a guide), and apply these principles to evaluate web pages using a testing matrix or evaluation tool that we'll develop specifically for this program.

If you or someone you know is interested in learning about this program, contact Janet Jendron at the South Carolina Assistive Technology Program at jjendron@usit.net.
