National Federation of the Blind advocates for blind-friendly website
From: Nando Times - May 12, 2003

The National Federation of the Blind has released a seal of approval for
organizations that have designed their Web sites to be accessible by people
with visual impairments. Such sites take steps to make the content available
and navigable either through magnification or the use of screen readers.
Wells Fargo Bank, Hewlett-Packard, and the Social Security Administration
received the first certifications from the federation. The accessibility of
the Social Security site is due in part to a federal law that mandates equal
access for persons with disabilities. Javier Bustamonte of the Social
Security agency said the requirements of that law made it easy to qualify for
the federation's new seal of approval. The federation hopes that the seal
will encourage many businesses to design - or redesign - their sites to be
available to persons with visual impairments.
