ED Launches New Website Accessibility TA Initiative
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today announced it is launching a new technical assistance initiative to assist schools, districts, state education agencies, libraries, colleges and universities in making their websites and online programs accessible to individuals with disabilities.
Through webinars, OCR will provide information technology professionals with vital information on website accessibility, including tips for making their online programs accessible. The initiative announced today, on Global Accessibility Awareness Day, builds on OCR’s history of providing technical assistance on this issue to hundreds of stakeholders.
OCR will offer the first three webinars on the following dates:
• Webinar I: May 29, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. EDT
• Webinar II: June 5, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. EDT
• Webinar III: June 12, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. EDT
If you are interested in participating in any of these webinars, please send your request to OCRWebAccessTA@ed.gov; include your name, preferred webinar and contact information. You are encouraged to invite your vendors to attend these webinars.
Information regarding the scheduling and registration for additional webinars is available on the Department’s website at https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/iwcs.html.
