Facebook Commits to Accessibility
By tbp | April 13, 2009
Facebook is working with the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) to make the social networking service more accessible to users who are blind or visually impaired. Carl Augusto, AFB President, explains:
About two years ago, AFB approached Facebook in order to combat the accessibility problems of blind members who were having trouble using the site and its applications, including AFB’s own cause on Facebook. From our very first interaction, Facebook has been responsive to our feedback and committed to finding solutions to these problems. This has underscored the fact that Facebook is a community dedicated to all of its members, including those with disabilities.
