Accessibility affects nearly everyone in every industry, including you. Why? Because software is being used on more devices than ever before -- often under non-optimal conditions -- by people of all ages, many of whom have differing capabilities. You undoubtedly fit into one or more of these categories, as well as your users.
Achieving "practical accessibility" means to ensure that a system works for everyone who is likely to use it (including users with disabilities), on a reasonable range of devices and situations, and complies with applicable standards and laws. This course provides practical testing strategies to confirm that a system complies with US Rehabilitation Act Section 508. It also shows how to verify that a system is accessible across a broader range of users and situations so that it can fulfill today's sophisticated expectations for all users.
