American Foundation for the Blind announces AccessibilityAssurance™ Program

From Marc Grossman, Accessible Technology Specialist, American Foundation for the Blind

"I want to share some exciting news with you from AFB Consulting. We recently announced the availability of our Accessibility Assurance™ Program (AAP). The AAP was launched to help our customers improve the accessibility of their web site(s) and to better serve the entire user community, including people with disabilities.

The AAP is a structured program through which participants gain access to our world-renowned network of Accessibility Consultants. However the AAP goes beyond traditional web site evaluation services. It also embraces and enables the concept of user empowerment, allowing AAP participants to directly engage users with disabilities to help solve and prevent web accessibility problems.

We are proud to announce that Marriott International has become the lead corporate participant in the AAP. You can read more about the Accessibility Assurance™ Program and our work with Marriott International at the following URLs:
