We are dedicated to making the internet accessible to everyone, regardless of visual ability. Our mission is to help businesses meet ADA requirements while promoting digital inclusion for the blind and visually impaired.
Compliance Requirements A Brief History of the Need:
Meeting the Requirements of the Law:
Dangers of non-compliant websites
The Department of Justice has put a priority on website accessibility. They have ruled that all types of services, goods, and announcements presented to the public must be accessible, including those presented on the web.
This stricter law enforcement has led to a greater number of ADA related lawsuits. Unfortunately, many of these lawsuits can be identified as ‘trolling lawsuits”. With 96% of websites failing the ADA acceptability requirements, unscrupulous firms have focused on suing businesses to demand large damages and settlements, rather than seeking greater access. We have seen documents showing firms filing up to 50 such lawsuits in a single week. California has set a minimum damage settlement of $4,000 plus fees for each violation.
To avoid these dangers it is best to be proactive and make sure your website is ADA compliant ahead of time. Internet Access for the Blind does just that! We begin with an initial audit of your existing internet offering; we then determine where the technology of a “text to speech” presentation will satisfy the law. We then employ the technology as needed, all while keeping your company in total control of your presentation.

There are more than 60 million Americans living with disabilities and there are more than 70 million Baby Boomers who will be increasingly reliant on accessible internet interfaces. This disabled population represents an estimated $550 billion of discretionary income. And it is a growing market!
Self reading “text to speech” internet access benefits all users, improving their user experience. Showing a commitment to include the disabled shows your goodwill, therein making your brand stronger in the eyes of both employees and customers.
