[Athen] seeking guidance on consultant to aid in prioritizing accessibility for campus

[Nast, Joseph]

Dr. Kissell,

No information about a consultant, but here's a link to comprehensive resources by the NCDAE that might help:

For example, in the article "Buyer Beware" the NCDAE offers practical steps and real-world examples from other institutions that have already incorporated accessibility policies into their procurement procedures:

Subject: [Athen] seeking guidance on consultant to aid in prioritizing accessibility for campus

Hi, folks!  As we attack the technological accessibility issue here on our campus, our TECH  team is seeking guidance on locating a consultant.  We are looking for ideas for a consultant that can help us determine a realistic and sustainable path to accessibility (web, video, university maintained applications, 3rd party vendor/app vetting, etc.). Ideally, this consultant would be a person/firm who specializes in higher ed accessibility.

Any suggestions come to mind?

Subject: [Athen] Evident Active Texbook accessibility

Ohio State is wondering if anyone has experience with this software. http://evidentpoint.com/active-textbook.htm
There is a possibility this will be used by an e-text platform and we are looking for information on the accessibility of the output, of course assuming good input.
Any info you have would be appreciated.
Best,
