<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Americans use the internet for everything from work, to caring for them selves and families, to being entertained. Yet, many websites and apps remain difficult to impossible for blind people to access because they are not designed with accessibility in mind.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Web accessibility is easy when designed from the start, and designing accessible websites and apps can benefit everyone, not just blind users. Join the National Federation of the Blind Center of Excellence in Nonvisual Accessibility Intro to Web Accessibility Boutique to learn how to make your websites and apps accessible to blind users and better for everyone. The boutique will cover:</span></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left:8px"><span style="font-size:14pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">What is a screen reader, and what is the experience for someone who depends on this technology to navigate websites.</span></span></span></li>
<li style="margin-left:8px"><span style="font-size:14pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">What should a web developer keep in mind to make sure their websites are accessible.</span></span></span></li>
<li style="margin-left:8px"><span style="font-size:14pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">What are the current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Recommended for developers, content creators, bloggers, influencers, communications professionals, web designers, web administrators, students and teachers in IT and web-related fields, and open to interested folks.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">The Center of Excellence in Nonvisual Accessibility is pleased to present this free Intro to Web Accessibility Boutique in partnership with the Maryland Department of disabilities.</span></span></span></p>

<h2><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"><span style="color:black">It’s Worth the Effort</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Accessibility simplifies and improves interactions with blind customers, employees, and employers. Accessible documents are useful to more than blind users. Most of the features added to increase accessibility also make projects easier to use for a wide variety of people.</span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Keyboard users</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Those with small screen devices</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black"><span style="color:black">Dictation software users</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">People using automated tools to gather information on documents, webpages, and other media.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Some accessibility features can make a project easier to migrate to other platforms or formats.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color:black">Creating accessible documents can be simple and powerful for anybody to incorporate into their workflow. Accessibility boutiques and seminars are workshops presented by our access technology experts that provide introductions to accessibility best practices and the latest trends in access tech.</span></span></p>
