WAVE is a popular and free web accessibility evaluation tool provided by

WebAIM. It is used to aid humans in the web accessibility evaluation process.

Rather than providing a complex technical report, WAVE shows the original web

page with embedded icons and indicators that reveal the accessibility of that

page. This Webinar will provide an overview of using WAVE as one of many tools

to assess the accessibility of your web pages.
