Momentum is gaining on a federal level to ensure websites and mobile applications are accessible to individuals with disabilities. Earlier this fall, Senator Tammy Duckworth and Representative John P. Sarbanes introduced The Websites and Software Applications Accessibility Act in both the United States Senate and the House of Representatives.
Once passed, this legislation would require the Department of Justice and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to establish a clear and enforceable uniform national framework for website and software application accessibility. With respect to a website or application, accessibility means a website or application that enables individuals with disabilities to access the same information and services, with the same ease of use, as individuals without disabilities.

Read more about this proposed legislation and practical examples of accessibility features utilized by individuals with vision, hearing and mobility disabilities.
