Web Accessibility Specialist/Web Services and Accessible Technology Initiative project
staff.
Comments
Would like some additional guidance on simplifying technical web accessibility
requirements (Section 508) for non-technical staff/students/faculty (e.g. the ATI door
hangers - with top ten things you can do to support accessibility - have been used as a
resource on the ATI in general). Assistance may be offered pending expertise of Web
Accessibility Specialist to be hired.
