The SC Assistive Technology Advisory Committee is following up on last year’s Web Testers Pilot Program, with another program that will use people who use assistive technology, and some who don’t, to evaluate state agency web pages for accessibility and usability. We’re looking for people who:
Are able to effectively use assistive technology to access web pages. We need people who use different screen readers (JAWS, Window-Eyes, Dolphin Guide, Kurzweil, etc.) and different screen enlargers or magnifiers (ZoomText, Windows Accessibility Options, MAGic). We also need people who use AT for mobility impairments, such as the Headmouse, Eye Gaze, head and mouthsticks, touchscreens, etc)

· Have experience in web design (whether or not they use AT or not) and accessibility issues
· Are willing to participate in several online trainings
· Have the ability to learn and apply accessibility and usability principles to state agency
web pages
· Are able to express themselves effectively in writing
· Might be available to demonstrate the use of assistive technology accessing web pages, as well as accessibility and usability issues
Not every tester needs to fit all of the above requirements, but training participation and writing ability are “musts.” If you know a South Carolinian who might fit this program, please send contact information (email address and any other details) to me at both email addresses below:
