The internet is one of the best things that has ever happened to people with disabilities – as long as they can click a trackpad, see the content, and hear the audio. But what about when they can’t?
Like the rest of us, university donors and alumni are increasingly dependent on technology in their daily lives. It’s more important than ever that we ensure our digital experiences are accessible to all people, regardless of their abilities.
In this presentation, you will hear about why digital access is so important, and some of the steps that we take at UMBC to ensure that we are inclusive of people with disabilities.
