What is an Access Alert? |
The Access Alert is our occasional, free electronic newsletter intended to keep our clients and colleagues informed of timely issues related to accessibility for people with disabilities. The newsletter usually alerts readers when new accessible design standards are published, important legal settlements or judicial decisions are announced, and new resources to support compliance with state and federal access requirements are published. Please consider adding your name to our subscriber list FREE OF CHARGE.
