Save the Date! Join the Conversation to Advance Accessibility and Inclusion in Social Media Submit ideas to help improve the user experience for people with disabilities March 17 - April 4, 2014
Do you use social media as part of your daily life? Do you have ideas on how social media can be made more accessible for everyone? The National Council on Disability (NCD)and the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP)want to hear from you! You are invited to participate in a national online dialogue from March 17 through April 4 that aims to explore the value of social media in the lives of people with disabilities, particularly around work, and to identify accessibility issues and creative approaches to making social media tools more accessible and usable for everyone. The information gathered from this dialogue will then help NCD and ODEP further collaborate with the social media industry to implement solutions and improve the accessibility of these online tools.
ePolicyWorks is part of the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy ePolicyWorks effort. Through this effort, multiple federal agencies work together to ensure that Americans with disabilities have equal access to employment and critical employment-related supports such as health care, education, transportation, housing and technology. ePolicyWorks leverages Web-based technology, stakeholder involvement and real-time information-sharing to facilitate a new approach to federal policy making.
