Accessible Technology and the ADA with Attorney William Goren

Attorney William Goren returns to PA Independent Living Radio Show to talk about accessible technology and the ADA. We'll talk about the many questions regarding accessible digital devices and their applications - and what the ADA says about requirements for their accessability to individuals with disability. 

Are private brick and mortar and web based businesses required to have accessible websites? What about thrid party websites, often called software as a service, and the applications a website is linked to? If you can't use a website due to disability, do you still qualify for web based discounts on products and services? These are just some of the many interesting questions to be discussed on the horizon of the digital landscape.
