Rockville, VA-- September 4, 2005-- TecAccess, a worldwide leader in Section 508 compliance and electronic and information technology (E&IT) accessibility solutions, has been invited to participate in an interview with www.disabledstudent.net, a disability resource founded by Kelly Matula, an 18-year-old college-bound student who has Cerebral Palsy and is visually impaired.
Having been in mainstream classrooms since kindergarten, Kelly states that she understands the feeling of isolation a person with a disability can feel in school. For this reason she created the website, disabledstudent.net, as a method to connect with other students with disabilities.
"I want to be able to share my experiences, my successes and failures, my frustrations and triumphs, to help other disabled students have the same positive and rewarding school experiences I have had," explains Matula.
Her site-- which offers information covering health, medicine, education, business, and careers-- has fast become a resource for others with disabilities and is ideally situated as a catalyst for accessibility issues as well.
Having interviewed everyone on the website from Orthopedic Surgeons and Pediatricians to Physical Therapists and Special Ed/Inclusion teachers, the site is now determined to address the growing need for accessibility by including valuable information pertaining to Section 508 compliance.
By interviewing Debra Ruh, founder and president of TecAccess, disabledstudent.net hopes to address the growing need to improve the accessibility of technology by tapping into Ruh's 20+ years of professional experience implementing and creating technology, compliance, policy, training and distance learning solutions for government agencies and companies all over the world.
With the majority of TecAccess associates having disabilities, the award winning company is uniquely positioned to offer disabledstudent.net valuable insight into electronic and information technology accessibility solutions, as well as with the employment of persons with disabilities.
As a dynamic software development, testing, training, and consulting company specializing in E&IT Accessibility and Section 508 compliance solutions, TecAccess embraces such efforts as those exhibited by Kelly Matula and her series of interviews, which can be found at disabledstudent.net (http://www.disabledstudent.net).
