  The standards that is placed on centers of training and teaching are,
  and should be, much stricter than those placed on anything else.

  The ITTATC, as I understand it, teach. It is my firm view that the
  requirement this places on them is a far stricter one.

  I can only speak for myself - no, I didn't miss it.

  However: to your claim that this site, which promote accessibility
  through training and assistance, is usable by the blind I counter with
  two structural problems that exist throughout the site and which will
  make it more difficult for several groups of users. The image lacking
  an alt-text seems a mere fluke; someone forgot it I'll wager.
