Provide access and inclusion to more than 32 million people with visual disabilities

For many of us, plotting through websites and reading online documents is a relatively easy task. But for the estimated 32.2 million people in the United States with a visual disability due to low vision or blindness, using a screen reader for tasks like these can be daunting (AFB).

Crawford Technologies has software solutions and a wide range of tailored services to meet the document accessibility needs of all organizations, large and small, private sector and governments of all levels.

For Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we have curated videos and blogs from our library to help spread awareness on digital access and inclusion for people with disabilities.
