There are 650 Million individuals in the world that live with a disability. Here in the USA – only 15 million of those individuals are those who are 65 or older. 57 million of those who are disabled were born with the disability or it came later in their life.
What does that mean for businesses? For those who have an online presence – it is a demographic that they are largely missing out and not serving because their websites, podcast, webinars, youtube videos are not “accessible”
Christine Laikind, born deaf, and founder of SCS Digital Marketing has made it her mission to share her knowledge and experience about (lack of) accessibility and website compliance to the WordCamp attendees.
