Web Accessibility Center
In June 2004, OSU instituted a policy called the Minimum Web Accessibility Standards (MWAS, see http://wac.osu.edu/standards). MWAS establishes baseline requirements for the authoring of web pages and other online resources in order to attempt to guarantee that the web is highly usable for people with disabilities. People using software assistive technologies to access the web (screen readers, magnifiers, reading and writing assistive technologies, etc.) and people with impaired mobility or hearing loss confront particular obstacles on the web. The Web Accessibility Center (WAC) develops resources, provides consultation and education, offers web site analysis services, and engages in the university community in order help reinforce MWAS and assist web resource developers at all levels to create highly accessible content and build universal usability into their web sites. For more information about the WAC and its resources and services, visit http://wac.osu.edu or email wac@osu.edu. Ken Petri is the director of the OSU Web Accessibility Center and the office is located in 102 Pomerene Hall in the same locale as the ODS ATTC computer lab.
