                       Web Accessibility Training Day

September 19, 2011

The National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute and the
Maryland Department of Disabilities Technology Assistance Program 
are
delighted to present the second Web Accessibility Training Day.  
On
Monday, September 19th we will offer a day-long, in-depth look at 
how
accessible Web content that complies with federal and state
regulations is created.  Compliance with these regulations and 
with
W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines is especially relevant 
in
the light of the Department of Justice's recent confirmation that 
the
Americans with Disabilities Act covers the Web.  We will have a
variety of general topic sessions, with afternoon breakout 
sessions
on policy and technical topics:
    * The business case for accessibility
    * How to evaluate and implement accessibility
    * Mobile accessibility
    * Easy accessibility fixes
    * Opportunities to network with developers, vendors, web
accessibility consultants and experts in non-visual access 
technology
    * Exhibitors will present their products during session 
breaks,
and participants will have an opportunity to learn more about 
their services
