Abstract
A long-awaited rule, signed by Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on April 8th and published on April 24th, adds digital accessibility requirements to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, affecting all government and government-funded organizations including public Higher Education institutions.
The new regulations are a legal ‘Call to Action’, requiring sustained compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 at the AA Level for all website and app content active at the end of the short 2-3 year compliance deadline. While proactive digital accessibility is now an official legal expectation, the sheer volume of digital materials (websites, web-based systems and processes, documents, online classes, apps, forms, videos, etc.) coupled with the rising threat of being found in violation of civil rights laws that protect people with disabilities is daunting. How can we take this opportunity to demystify digital access and be a key contributor to our Organization's success?
Join Dr. Ann Knettler, an experienced leader in disability access, consultant, professor, speaker, and digital accessibility strategist as she explains what is and is not covered under the new regulations, identifies key internal and external resources for remediation and accessible content creation, and provides a roadmap for creating and executing an effective, sustainable digital accessibility plan. Attendees will leave with essential actions and takeaways that will protect the Civil Rights of individuals with disabilities, significantly reduce legal risk, limit liability, and provide a strategic approach to access that can be tailored to an organization's individual needs.
Millioner af dokumenter er allerede blevet Grackled!
Et lille udsnit af, hvad vores glade kunder har at sige om GrackleDocs
Region 10 ESC
Som en non-profit uddannelsesinstitution med begrænsede budgetter ledte vi efter en overkommelig løsning til at implementere Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 til vores G Suite-output og opfylde kravene til OCR-overholdelse.
Vi fandt ikke noget andet, der fungerede lige så godt og billigt som Grackle Suite til at hjælpe os med at forbedre vores Google Docs, Sheets og Slides. Mine elever, som jeg underviser i tilgængelighed (ansatte i Region 10), kan lide det og synes, det er nemt at lære og bruge. Jeg kan varmt anbefale Grackle.

De arbejder konstant sammen med os om at skabe effektivitet, der er tilpasset vores processer, og de leder efter måder, hvorpå vi kan arbejde på et optimalt niveau.
Foreningen af førerhunde i Lyon
Vores organisation stiller gratis førerhunde til rådighed for synshandicappede, så de kan navigere på egen hånd.
Men på trods af en ihærdig indsats har vi ikke været i stand til at lære vores hunde at læse. Så for at producere dokumenter, der er tilgængelige og lette at læse for vores modtagere, forbinder vi en grackle med hunden.
Det er en meget brugervenlig løsning i vores Google Workspace-miljø. Investeringsafkastet er fremragende, og kombinationen af Google Docs og Grackle fungerer fantastisk.
