The Great Lakes ADA Center, Southwest ADA Center and the ADA National Network in collaboration with RESNA are pleased to host a webinar on August 20, 2014
titled:

“Increasing Program Access under the ADA: IDEAL Group’s Knowledge Discovery Technology”

Details:

Wednesday, August 20, 2014

3:00-4:30p.m. Eastern

Description:

Steve Jacobs President of IDEAL Group will present how mainstream, industry-based, Knowledge Discovery Data Mining (KDD) Technology can be repurposed in
support of enhancing the accessibility, usability, and readability of digital content… even if the content was not designed with accessibility in mind.
The objective of IDEAL Group's KDD technology is to automatically render single or collections of digital content into new and innovative alternate formats
designed to enable individuals with print disabilities (and everyone else) to more easily access, navigate, find and acquire knowledge from that content.
Source digital content may include web pages, websites, blogs, wikis, PDF files, Word documents, ePub2/3 eBooks, RTF files, and text files.

In addition to Steve Jacobs, Andrew Winnegar with the Southwest ADA Center at TIRR Memorial Hermann Research Center will provide a brief introduction to
the American with Disabilities Act program access and effective communication requirements.
