As a well-known expert in the area of IT accessibility, SSB recognizes the
need to provide education on various accessibility topics. To fill that
need, in 2012 SSB created the Accessibility, Compliance, and Expertise
(ACE) Institute for Learning. The ACE Institute’s team of experts has a
proven track record providing accessibility solutions and training to
thousands of organizations for all areas of IT accessibility compliance.

Coming up in June, the ACE Institute will offer three new in-depth,
