Accessibility Matters

New Biden-Harris administration Rule to Improve Online Accessibility:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is proposing a new rule that would establish accessibility standards for state and local governments’ web and mobile app-based services. This proposed rule will better enable state and local governments to meet their ADA obligation to provide equal access to their services, programs, and activities for people with disabilities. The proposed rule suggests clear technical standards, like including text descriptions of images so people using screen readers can understand the content, providing captions on videos, and enabling navigation through use of a keyboard instead of a mouse for those with limited use of their hands. Clearer standards will both ensure that people with disabilities can access vital services and make it easier for states and localities to understand their ADA obligations.

The proposed rule will move us toward a more inclusive nation through equal access to crucial state and local services. It will help ensure that students with disabilities can access course content for the courses they enroll in, including higher level math and science. It will improve voter registration websites so that voters with disabilities can register independently. And it will help people with disabilities commute to work by helping them access bus and train information online.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.3 billion people, or 16% of the world’s population, have a disability. This figure is expected to grow to an estimated 2 billion by 2030 as the global population ages.  If your client websites do not cater to this population, your clients could be missing out on business opportunities. In addition, website accessibility lawsuits are up, with over 4,000 lawsuits filed in 2022.
