[Blind-Gov] Action Alert: Federal Employee ViewPoint SSurvey (FEVS) Accessibility Issues

[Kaye Baker]

Greetings all:

I just completed the FEBS survey, and I had no issues at all. I did find
that using the arrow keys rather than tabbing worked best, but I was able to
read the question, and select my answers and choose to submit the survey
with no issue. My agency is currently using JAWS 2022, so I am not sure if
that makes a difference.

Kind Regards

Kaye

Accessibility Issues

 

Folks,

Several individuals have shared concerns about the 2024 Federal Employee
Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) in terms of lack of accessibility and 508 compliance
issues.  The National Association of Blind Government Employees is asking
for your help:

1.	Please prioritize taking the FEVS as soon as you can (we understand
most agencies are now in the open period, but some may be on a later
schedule);
2.	Please note any accessibility or 508 challenges you experience;
3.	Please share those challenges with me via email to
rothmanjd at gmail.com <mailto:rothmanjd at gmail.com> ;
4.	Please consider filing a 508 complaint with OPM and your employing
agency (it's helpful to file in both places).  You can file with OPM using
the email address FEVS at OPM.gov <mailto:FEVS at OPM.gov> .

 

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

 

Regards,

Ronza

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
