The Association for Accessible Technology was created to perform research on and disseminate information about accessibility in electronic and information technology. The information we will gather and report will allow those who purchase electronic and information technology products and services to make purchasing decisions that are better informed and more likely to be accessible. The challenge this new organization faces in meeting its goal is twofold: Lack of personnel, and lack of money.
I’d like to invite all of you to join me in doing this work. I am looking for volunteers to help with everything from basic organizational & marketing work to performing the product reviews. Our product reviews will follow the standard full SSB methodology leading to a VPAT and we’ll be using AMP to do so. Your time commitment will vary depending upon what you commit yourself to do. As this is volunteer work, there’s no required time commitment. If you’re interested, please go to:

If you cannot volunteer your time, please consider donating some money. We have a secure online donation form located at: https://www.accessible-technology.org/donate/
Thanks!
