Blind Ambition

Celebrating it’s 19th anniversary on July 26th, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was established to eliminate barriers that prevent persons with disabilities from the equal access of programs and services. More specifically, Title III under the ADA outlines particular requirements of public accommodations and commercial facilities.  
 
For the over 10 million blind and partially sighted individuals in the U.S., it is communication barriers that are most frequently encountered, and are typically thought of as the most challenging. The inability to access private and confidential information not only limits independence, but also puts individuals, and their institutions, at a greater risk of data compromise.      
 
In addressing and facilitating communication requirements, telecom, utility and financial institutions are invited to request a free sample statement, in both braille and large print, customized with institutional branding, in order to see firsthand how blind and partially sighted customers access such materials.   
  
Request before July 31st for your chance to see, and feel, how accessible statements are presented to your customers!
