May 20, 2021 from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. eastern via Zoom
As part of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), an international day of highlighting the importance and advancements in the area of accessibility, the National Federation of the Blind will mark this day with a review of our 2020-2021 efforts to promote accessibility. We will be primarily highlighting the work we have done under a Non-Visual Accessibility Initiative (NVAI) grant administered by the Maryland Department of Disabilities (MDOD) to develop and execute a variety of projects within the following six focus areas:
• Enhance Access to Education Technology and Strategies
• Enhance Access to Employment-Related Tools and Services
• Offer Accessibility Boutiques and Other Training Seminars
• Assist with the Integration of Smart Technologies for Accessible Cities
• Maintain the Accessibility Switchboard and Community of Practice
• Coordinate the Accessibility Inclusion Fellowship Program
We invite those individuals interested in learning about the projects we designed to increase accessibility in education, public information, and commerce to join us on Global Accessibility Awareness Day (May 20, 2021) from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. eastern for a review of our successes in 2020-2021.
