Test your website for accessibility

The IT Accessibility team has been hard at work providing presentations around the campus to faculty, staff and students centered around web accessibility. The goal of these presentations are to introduce the need and importance of web accessibility around the campus, introduce the team as the resource for establishing accessibility, plus introduce some of the free website accessibility validation tools available for everyone.

A simple way to quickly test your site for accessibility is to try the No Mouse Challenge. Using only your keyboard, can you access all features, operate all buttons, sliders, and other controls and easily tell where you are on the page?
