A National Assessment of State E&IT Accessibility Initiatives
Current initiatives to improve the accessibility of electronic and information technology (E&IT) at both the state and federal level are targeted at improving the quality of services to citizens. Clearly, these initiatives present a significant opportunity to enhance the lives of people with disabilities; a growing population, who, according to the 2000 census, represent 19% of the population (21 - 64 years).
The Information Technology Technical Assistance and Training Center (ITTATC) has conducted a study to gain a better sense of what the states are doing to promote E&IT accessibility. Specifically, the study sought to:
- Identify perceived barriers to improved E&IT accessibility at a state level
- Identify perceived needs for information, training and technical assistance to improve E&IT accessibility
- Provide a framework and a baseline at a point in time of current state efforts to design and implement E&IT accessibility policies and procedures
- Overview of State Accessibility Laws, Policies, Standards and Other Resources Available On-line
- State Accessibility Laws, Policies, Standards and Other Resources Available On-line: Related to Application Development, IT Procurement, and Public Hardware (April 2003)
- State Accessibility Laws, Policies, Standards and Other Resources Available On-line: Related to Websites (April 2003)
- State Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Initiatives: Related to Websites, E&IT Procurement, and Application Development (August 2004)
