In Australia we have all been devastated by the flooding across our country (and the fires in Western Australia). If you have money to spare, please give generously at the Queensland Government site. If you can volunteer – and we will all need volunteers for some time to come, go to the Emergency Volunteering site. You can help pets and animals or provide a bed.
If you are a Government providing web services about the floods
If you are a Government department, agency or charity (QLD, NSW or Victoria) providing web services about the flooding, then I can provide accessibility testing of the relevant flood-related pages or web sites, free-of-charge. Please use the contact form to request assistance and I will contact you to discuss your accessibility needs.
Results of assistive technologies tested against Adobe Test Suite
The information in this post was taken from The Australian Government’s study into the Accessibility of the Portable Document Format for people with a disability. See my previous blog posts for the conclusions of the AGIMO study into PDFs.
