Technology makes access to jobs, goods, and services possible for people with disabilities - easier for all.

Advances in technology are changing the nature of business, from job performance and work productivity to commercial interactions such as buying, selling and advertising.

Smart companies understand that many of their customers and employees have evident and hidden sensory, learning, and physical impairments. And these numbers will grow as our population ages.

Just as street curb-cuts, originally designed for people using wheelchairs, have been embraced by all pedestrians, information technology (IT) that is designed to be accessible to individuals with disabilities, also provides improved access and usability for all individuals.

Accessible IT Makes Good Business Sense

• Removing barriers that prevent consumers from accessing products and services ensures higher sales and increased revenue
• Providing employees with appropriate technology enhances productivity, improves morale and increases loyalty

Accessible IT and Social Responsibility

Ensuring that employees, customers and consumers can participate equally in society promotes independence and empowerment.
