On September 28, 2022, the Website and Software Applications Accessibility Act (S. 4998, H.R. 9021) was introduced in both houses of Congress!
AFB’s Public Policy and Research Institute has been working with the National Federation of the Blind, the American Council of the Blind, and the National Disability Rights Network to introduce and pass this legislation.
Over the past several months, AFB Policy and Research Advisor Sarah Malaier and I have researched and analyzed a wide variety of nationally focused employment programs for people with vision loss. The purpose of this project was to understand what types of programs are available to blind and low vision people who are looking to find employment, retain employment, and advance in their chosen career fields.
