Your Accessible Web and the Spanish Retinoblastoma Association sign a collaboration agreement so that people affected by this pathology participate in the process of evaluation and validation of the operation of any web portal and thus ensure its accessibility.
The Internet has become a tool that is part of our daily lives, becoming essential when it comes to obtaining information and participating in an active and digitalized society.
However, many people today find it difficult to access the content of web pages. An example of this is those users who suffer from a visual disability. Given this problem, Tu Web Accessible and the Spanish Retinoblastoma Association (AER) have joined forces, taking a step further in the sector of web accessibility.
What does the cooperation between Tu Web Accessible and the Spanish Retinoblastoma Association (AER) consist of?
For people with visual problems, autonomous participation in the community is a challenge. For this reason, both entities will collaborate to achieve full inclusion of the group, so that they can enjoy independence by accessing the website safely and comfortably.
In this way, in the projects led by Your Accessible Web, the association’s own members will be in charge of evaluating and validating the portal’s accessibility work. Thus, the page will be available to any beneficiary, whether or not they have a disability.
Along these lines, the AER has a significant number of candidates with different degrees of capacity who will use the services provided by Your Accessible Web. Therefore, with this collaboration, they will work to guarantee proper compliance with the web and application accessibility standard through testing.
Thus, its aim will be to achieve free access to information by improving the visibility of the website through different tools.
For example, the inclusion of an alternative description in the images for people who cannot perceive it; the use of reading programs that collect this text and verbalize it; or contrast levels so that the user can adjust the color to their needs and comfort, among others.
What is the role of Your Accessible Web?
For its part, Your Accessible Web will ensure that the pages are usable by as many people as possible, regardless of their knowledge or personal abilities.
Consequently, the Spanish Retinoblastoma Association wanted to cooperate so that all those who suffer from this disease achieve full self-sufficiency when it comes to the Internet.
In short, thanks to the agreement between ‘Your Accessible Web’ and the Spanish Retinoblastoma Association, people with visual disabilities will be one step closer to becoming full citizens by facilitating their access to information regardless of their level of ability.
