Where: Online/Web-based
Sponsored By:  Webinar Series: Accessible Technology from the Great Lakes ADA Center and the Pacific ADA Center, members of the ADA National Network.
Description: This session will explore the role of the law in advancing digital accessibility in the United States. The ADA does not mention websites or the Internet. Does it matter? Court decisions, voluntary settlements, advocacy by the Department of Justice and Department of Education and new regulations are making the digital environment more accessible. But is it enough? Participants in this webinar will learn about recent litigation, Structured Negotiations, and administrative actions making websites, mobile applications and other technology available to people with disabilities. We will talk about how the ADA and other state and federal laws can advance digital inclusion and the various strategies that advocates have at their disposal to effectively use those laws.
