Visually impaired people have a disadvantage when they are trying to choose a new doctor, compared to people who see the providers’ photos, as they can’t observe the visual characteristic of the doctors that can be gathered by looking at the photos.

<h2>About Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability meet-up is a place for accessibility minded colleagues to casually reviewing and discussing your projects. This generally includes lots of hands-on testing
and code review. If you are working on a project and would like to get accessibility feedback from your peers, please let us know and we will add it to the agenda. We always encourage you to bring your own sites and topics, as it is a great learning experience
for everyone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<h2>How to Join the Mailing List<o:p></o:p></h2>

to receive the announcements if you haven’t already done it yet. You can do so by accessing this link:
