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. http://www.macromedia.com/resources/special/solutions_kit/
