Macromedia to Aid the Disabled Online
From: CNET - December 1, 2001

Macromedia is set to unveil its Accessibility and E-Learning Solutions Kit,
software designed to develop Web sites that can be accessed by the disabled.
The launch follows the passage of Section 508, an amendment to the
Rehabilitation Act, requiring that technology be accessible to disabled
workers at government agencies. Macromedia's software will enable designers
to check Web sites for accessibility using such tools as a spellchecker- like
program. Captioning is also possible through links to a tool. Advocate groups
for the disabled have been pleased with Macromedia's product, and standards
groups such as the W3C have advocated Internet accessibility. W3C is creating
guidelines for developing accessible browsers, multimedia players, and other
Web interfaces.
