[Athen] Web accessibility audit

[Chaves, Derek]

My group at Umass Medical School does this type of work. Depending on the budget, we contract with a developer who is blind to check compatibility with JAWS. All our own work conforms to a minimum of WCAG 2.0 level AA. If you would like to discuss this further, feel free to contact me.


Sincerely,

They will do it from a blindness focus so it will not be a complete evaluation.  There are a several companies, and groups that will provide a comprehensive evaluation.  Please contact me off list and I can provide some contacts.

I just heard that the National Federation for the Blind will do this for you.

Subject: [Athen] Web accessibility audit

Our institution is looking to perform a web accessibility audit on our web sites. While there seem to be a number of tools to help with doing this on our own, I wondered if anyone has ever outsourced this? If so, are there recommended companies? Or recommendations for ways to go about finding one? Looking on Google and through the Athens archives turned up few results.

Thanks -
Kristin
