The accessNSDL holds enormous promise to enrich the interest and understanding of learners of all ages as they pursue education or careers in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM).
However, very little of this enriched and supported STEM content will be meaningful to learners, parents, teachers, researchers or trainers with disabilities without a concerted effort to infuse access considerations into the priorities, practices and policies of the accessNSDL community. The Access NSDL
website will build the capacity to meet the needs of users with disabilities in web sites through better web design and marketing and in helping web design companies better understand the requirements of such individuals.
Project staff are providing the accessNSDL community with recommendations, tools and resources to guide the development of a universally designed web infrastructure and accessible services and content on the Internet. The project design leverages relevant work currently underway within accessnsdl and many web design companies and organizations, Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Accessndsl.org results serve the nation's estimated 22 million deaf or hard-of-hearing people, 12 million blind or visually impaired people, and 8 million people with motor impairments, by making it possible for them to access the valuable science, math, engineering and technical content.
