Submit Your Ideas! Help Improve the Accessibility of Online Tools for Workers with Intellectual Disabilities: Disability.gov Update

as shared by Disability.gov ...


Disability.gov updates
What can be done to make web-based job tools easier to use by people with intellectual disabilities, cognitive issues, traumatic brain injuries or other disabilities?

An online dialogue that runs from December 9 - 20 will address these issues. The event is being held by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP); the Partnership on Employment and Accessible Technology (PEAT); and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN).  

Members of the public are invited to participate. Please join this virtual event and post your ideas for making online tools easier to use for workers with intellectual disabilities. Simply log in to the online dialogue and submit your ideas and comments and vote on other ideas. Remember, these ideas will be used to help improve technology access for all.

Participants are encouraged to think about 2 main questions:
  • How can websites be improved to make it easier to apply for jobs or do work for your job?
  • What ideas do you have for making online job-related tools easier to use for everyone?
