Advocate Moves Needle on Website Accessibility
Education Week: Every year, thousands of complaints flow into the office tasked with investigating disability discrimination for the U.S. Department of Education.
This year, Marcie Lipsitt, a special education advocate from Michigan, has been responsible for about 500 of those complaints—and counting.
Lipsitt's focus is on the websites of school districts and other educational institutions, which she says widely disregard the needs of users who are blind or visually impaired, or who cannot use a mouse to navigate a page. Other website problems she has spotted include videos with no captions, or text and background color combinations that are a strain for people with low vision.
