Invitation to Participate in Developer's Survey on Accessibility

I would like to invite everyone in the WAI Interest Group to participate in a confidential survey to better understand the needs of and obstacles faced by the development community when it comes to incorporating accessibility into the development lifecycle.  This survey is being conducted by the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) and the Accessibility Interoperability Alliance (AIA) Division of ATIA.  ATIA is working to find ways to support developers through a partnership with the Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy.  The objective of the survey is to identify obstacles and solutions to address the needs identified.  Results of this research will be reported at an aggregate level, and names of organizations, if provided, will not be identified when reporting findings.

We ask that you respond to this survey and pass it along to other colleagues within your organization who play a role in the development process so that we can identify the clear priorities and the best ways to support your efforts to build accessibility processes.  Also, please feel free to pass this along to anyone outside your organization who could also provide valuable input on this topic.  

This survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete and will provide valuable insight to advance the goal of access for all.  Please respond by end of day Sunday, August 29th by going to:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SLXJ2CM           

If you have problems with this link and want to download a Word version of the survey to email to us, you can go to http://www.atia.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=3882 and then email the completed survey to aiaadmin@atia.org.

Thank you for taking the time to fill this out.  If you have any questions about this survey, please contact aiaadmin@atia.org.
