Under Construction – thank you for your patience!
One in four adults in the United States has a disability that impacts their ability to interact with the online world. At Epic Paths, we strive to ensure that those we train are capable of understanding and implementing service or products usable by people of all abilities.
There are many types of disabilities out there, some permanent, some temporary – so what does it mean to be disabled?
A disability is any condition of the body or mind (impairment) that makes it more difficult for the person with the condition to do certain activities (activity limitation) and interact with the world around them (participation restrictions).
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) opens a new window
Under the terms of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), everyone is equal when it comes to gaining access to information on the web, whatever their physical or cognitive abilities. Whether we are talking about ADA Act, European Accessibility Act, Section 508, or other Accessibility Compliance (see our article “Easy Guide to Website Accessibility and ADA Compliance”), accessibility compliance enables wider, easier access to websites, electronic devices, and electronic documentation.
