A MODEL FOR e-ACCESSIBILITY - GWSolutions, a George Washington University
enterprise, is working with a developer of accessible e-business applications to integrate
accessibility courses into GW's Center for Profession Development curriculum beginning
this summer. A 1998 law requires federal agencies to make their electronic and information
technology accessible to people with disabilities. GW has added eight courses developed
by Crunchy Technologies Inc., designed to help IT managers create accessible information
in compliance with section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. A spokesman for the National
Organization on Disabilities, called the partnership "a model for others to follow through
comprehensive and integrated technology education." See: http://www.gwu.edu/cpd/crunchy
