Mission
In general, an information technology system is accessible to people with
disabilities if it can be used in a variety of ways that do not depend on a
single sense or ability
The mission of the CMAC Website Accessibility Subcommittee is to ensure,
through education and outreach, that ConneCT, the official Website of the
State of Connecticut, is universally accessible.
It is the policy of the State of Connecticut to ensure that people with
hearing, visual and other disabilities have equal access to public information
that is available on the Internet and the World Wide Web. It is the direct
responsibility of the agency and its web page developers to become familiar
with
the
guidelines for achieving universal accessibility and to apply these
principles in designing and creating any official State of Connecticut
Website. They are entitled:
Universal
Website Accessibility Policy
for State Websites - Version 4.0
http://www.cmac.state.ct.us/access/policies/accesspolicy40.html
They were adopted from the Design
of HTML Pages to Increase their Accessibility to Users with Disabilities
from the Trace Center at the University of Wisconsin.
These guidelines were developed by those working in the areas of assistive
and adaptive technology at the University of Wisconsin's Trace
Research and Development Center. They can be found at the following
