Guided by a consortium of policy and technology leaders, PEAT works to help employers, IT companies, and others to understand why it pays to build and buy accessible technology, and how to go about doing so. The Department of Justice has entered into 167 settlement agreements addressing how the #ADA applies to the accessibility of websites and other information and communications technologies (ICT). PEAT has put together a plain language resource for employers and employees titled How is the Department of Justice Addressing Website and ICT Accessibility, that help us make sense of these settlements and determine tangible next steps.
