[Faith-Talk] Accessibility At Churches And Advocacy

[Allen Zderad]

Hi Again - this is Allen,
	Wondering if someone(s) of the leadership of this group could
prepare a short checklist on tips & aids in making websites accessible.  I
realize that the NFB may have such a checklist, but have not been able to
locate such on their website.  Some members of this group may have served at
NFB training centers, and would have contacts who could provide such a
guideline/checklist.  A brief outline of what needs to be on this checklist
would be a starting point.  Known website design software with good
accessibility tools would also be helpful in assisting congregations in
selecting a platform from which to begin.  

Allen

Just a funny related story: In the 90s in a reasonably large Methodist
church in Illinois, I personally braille-labeled the church elevator with
Dymo tape. However, I found all the labels gone the following week and have
always wondered if kids or adults did that. I do figure it was due to my
slight oversight of not using clear tape though.

Hello all. I am new to the group!

 

I don't know if this is relevant to the group, but this is related to
accessibility.

 

For those of you that go to church, have you ever had to advocate for
accessible accommodations? For example, my church is switching websites, and
I'm trying my best to ensure accessibility to include everyone. Had you had
luck advocating with your church?


Sincerely,

Armando Vias
