Rockville, VA-- May 19, 2003-- TecAccess a worldwide leader in IT Accessibility and Section 508 Solutions, today announced that Ajilon Learning (formerly Interskill Interactive) of Atlanta, Georgia has chosen TecAccess as their Accessibility Solution Partner.

If your organization is faced with the challenge of the accessibility requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1998, TecAccess offers solutions. Ajilon Learning is making a commitment to ensure all of their courses are completely accessible for everyone, even for people with disabilities.

Section 508 is the amendment to the Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which was signed into law by President Clinton in 1998. It requires all federal departments, agencies, contractors, and federally funded companies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. The law covers the development, maintenance, procurement, and use of these technologies.

To ensure that Ajilon Learning courseware development plans assure full accessibility, the e-learning company has selected the services of TecAccess to monitor and advise on accessibility designs and to test innovations throughout the development process. Because the majority of TecAccess staff members are persons with disabilities, the company is able to realistically evaluate Ajilon´s compliance technology.

TecAccess uses a proprietary testing process in which each component is rated, scored, and then combined with other functions to generate an overall accessibility rating. This stringent assessment and monitoring of Ajilon Learning's accessibility innovations ensures high quality development and effective achievement of broad learner accessibility.
