Ensuring Digital Accessibility through Process and Policy provides readers with a must-have
resource to digital accessibility from both a technical and policy perspective. Inaccessible
digital interfaces and content often lead to forms of societal discrimination that may be
illegal under various laws. This book is unique in that it provides a multi-disciplinary
understanding of digital accessibility. The book discusses the history of accessible computing
an understanding of why digital accessibility is socially and legally important and provides
both technical details (interface standards evaluation methods) and legal details (laws
lawsuits and regulations). The book provides real-world examples throughout highlighting
organizations that are doing an effective job with providing equal access to digital
information for people with disabilities. This isn't a book strictly about interface design
nor is it a book strictly about law. For people who are charged with implementing accessible
technology and content this book will serve as a one-stop guide to understanding digital
accessibility offering an overview of current laws regulations technical standards
evaluation techniques as well as best practices and suggestions for implementing solutions and
monitoring for compliance. This combination of skills from the three authors-law technical
and research with experience in both corporate government and educational settings is
unique to this book and does not exist in any other book about any aspect of IT accessibility.
The authors' combination of skills marks a unique and valuable perspective and provides
insider knowledge on current best practices corporate policies and technical instructions.
Together we can ensure that the world of digital information is open to all users.
