The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines deal specifically with reduction of barriers on Web pages. CMAC is an interagency volunteer committee. It is comprised of individuals with special interest in issues of web accessibility. DMR has two representatives on the committee. Lana Raymond is the North Central Region representative and Bev Bellisio, DMR Systems Technician, represents Central Office and is responsible for modifying DMR s website to ensure accessibility.
Images are often difficult to discern.
The deaf and hard of hearing face problems with the abundance of multimedia on the web without the use of captioning. For some neurological conditions flashing and blinking text or images can lead to seizures. Accessible Web sites can be just as creatively designed as inaccessible sites. The goal is to ensure that all kinds of Web sites, including multimedia, work well for all users.
