Overview

This tool provides strategy and technique suggestions for designing products so that they are accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disabilities. The strategies are a compilation of items from various accessibility guidelines and strategies documents.

Information in the Ideas Browser is based on the Telecommunications Act Accessibility Guidelines (TAAG) and is organized under the TAAG headings in the navigation frame at the left side of the browser. General information about the browser, notes and credits and help are available in the header frame, and strategies and ideas content, guidelines text and examples are displayed in the main display frame.

It is important to recognize that the browser contains ideas for addressing the Telecom Guidelines. They are neither required by law nor does their use and implementation guarantee compliance with the law.

Future Plans

This tool is intended to give users the ability to easily browse all of the known issues and solution strategies available. The browser will continue to evolve to become a convenient, continually updated, online tool for identifying strategies for complying with emerging accessibility regulations.
