[nabentre] Need Advice: Access Tach Consultant

[Tina Hansen]

I am looking to become self employed as an accessability consultant in my area with a focus on blindness. Among other things, I hope to advise local organizations on how to make their web sites accessible. I also hope to advise schools and other agencies on how they can make their materials accessible with little or no cost to them.

I do have some questions. What kind of education would I need? I do have a general studies degree, but is that all I need. I'd also like to network with other people who are already doing this so I can learn from them. If anyone has any advice, please e-mail me. Thanks.
