    Website Accessibility, Adaptive Technology & Dissability Resources

    post by Ronda Del Boccio, The Story Lady, co-host of Relationship Marketing 101

    Wow - what a fabulous show this week with Cornelius Butler of Butler New Media & Accessiblenet! When you listen to the show, you will discover a number of ways you can make your own website accessible.

    Here is a video about AccessibleNet



    Why make your website accessible to people with disabilities? Because the disability market is a ten TRILLION dollar market and extremely loyal to anyone who makes an effort to be inclusive - because Google rewards you for being accessible - and because soon it will be the law.

    Interestingly, if you make a site accessible for mobile phones, it is also accessibile for persons with disabilities.

    These are some sites to assist you in making your site accessible, as well as some other accessibility and disability resources. A huge thank-you to Cornelius for all you shared both during the show and since.

    These are only a few of many resources.

    Find out how accessible your website is: The Wave
    There are several categories of disabilities: visual, learning, hearing, and physical.

    General resources:
    Social  and blog Network for persons with disabilities Disaboom
    US Government Disability Info site: DisabilityInfo.gov
    Keyboard shortcuts save you time and muscle strain. Keyboard shortcuts site.

    Visual, reading and learning disabilities

    Screen reading software makes it easier for people who are blind, visually impaired or who have a learning or readingdisability to access the computer. Also, think of how nice it would be to rest your eyes and let the computer read to you, even if you're sighted.

    Free Screen Readers:
    Thunder Screen Reader
    NVDA screen reader

    The Kindle now will read to you: Kindle II
    Excellent source of adaptive equipment for the blind is Beyond Sight.

    Hearing loss/deafness
    Annottions or subtitles for videos and audio transcripts assist individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to access the web.

    Physical disabilities

Extras

Prior to a disabling car accident, I had an extremely busy legal career as a litigator. But when the accident left me unable to get out of a hospital bed and wheelchair for almost 10 years, I turned to the internet as a way to spend my time and afford my medical bills.


That was in 1996 and I've been full time online ever since!


Most marketers online know me as "The JV Queen" because of my many years of organizing some of the biggest product launches on the internet. It was through the experience of working with well-known experts such as Shawn Casey, Willie Crawford, Henry Gold, David Garfinkel, and many more, that I gained the knowledge and insight into what drives sales and profits on the internet today.


Today, as the Founder & Dean of DirectionsU.com (formerly "TheIMUniversity.com") and creator of 30DayIMChallenge.com, I am a coach and mentor to entrepreneurs looking to build a business using the power of the internet. Whether the internet is the your only presence or your secondary presence, my information products and coaching programs can show you how to get bigger results, faster.


My areas of expertise include:

* Mindset
* Strategic Planning for your Online Business Presence
* Product Creation and Planning
* Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances
* Strategic Traffic Generation
* Strategic List Building
* Web 2.0
* Blogging
* and many other aspects of building a business using the power of the internet.


My mission is to help 1,000,000 entrepreneurs learn to live the life of their dreams through owning their own business, by the year 2013.
