iCanConnect—or the National Deaf-Blind Equipment Distribution Program—is committed to providing a website experience that meets the needs not only of our community of students, alumni and faculty with visual impairments but for all visitors to our website, regardless of their age, ability or means of access.
Our ongoing effort to improve the accessibility of our website is working toward conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1, level AA criteria. These guidelines help make web content accessible to users who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice recognition software and alternative input devices.
The accessibility consulting group, Perkins Access, provides ongoing inclusive design advice, training, accessibility audits, usability testing with people who are blind / visually impaired as well as remediation guidance for the icanconnect.org site. If you experience any difficulty using this site, or you have feedback that will help us to provide a better user experience, please contact us via our form.
