Go forward to Section 2: MethodologyThe primary purpose of the Information Technology Technical Assistance and Training Center (ITTATC) is to provide information and training materials that facilitate the development of information technology and telecommunications equipment that is accessible to people with disabilities. In order to develop and implement training materials and instructional modules for accessible design, a formal assessment of the current progress in accessibility efforts is being conducted. This assessment will document the extent of the problems in implementing accessibility in the information technology and telecommunications industries and provide an understanding of what project stakeholders perceive as possible solutions to the problems.
As part of this assessment we have conducted a set of structured interviews with experts in the area of accessible design in information and telecommunications technology. The survey instrument was designed to further our understanding of the curriculum required to move accessibility efforts into the future.
The experts interviewed in this effort were identified by their peers as visionaries in the field of accessible design and accessibility. The interviewees came from diverse occupational domains, including human factors, computer science, engineering, sales, marketing, and mathematics. In addition, these individuals have diverse job environments, including private sector industry, research/education, and consulting. This report documents the results of the structured interviews. For each question, majority and minority opinions are discussed. In addition, summaries of each of the respondent's answers are also included.
