The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) will offer three webinars during May and June providing technical assistance to colleges, universities, and other educational entities in making their websites and online programs accessible to individuals with disabilities.
The webinars, which are being offered on May 29 and June 5 and 12, are aimed at information technology professionals. Institutions also are encouraged to invite their IT vendors to register.
Those interested in participating in any of the three webinars can send a request to OCRWebAccessTA@ed.gov; include your name, preferred webinar and contact information. For more information, click here.
