Managing for Accessibility -               

Multiple Level Approach

• Conduct systematic surveys and interviews to determine who is interested, who will be affected, and basic issues for your organization (initial baseline study, followed by periodic update studies).

• Connect with higher management (find a champion)

• Review and update policies, developing them to support and empower appropriate change

• Build an advocacy and information network - Web site, mail list, interest group, speakers

• Contact managers and address their needs and concerns

• Help webmasters and application developers connect with each other to explore options and share expertise

• Work with Purchasing to empower it to give preference to products that support accessibility goals

• Develop accessibility guidelines and standards for outside contractors
