Rockville, VA - March 12, 2007-- TecAccess LLC, an award-winning provider of an international suite of accessibility solutions, has won the "Outstanding Achievement Award" by the Virginia Board for People with Disabilities (VBPD). The awards ceremony will be held March 26, 2007, at the Library of Virginia, in Richmond, VA.

"The Outstanding Achievement Award recognizes exemplary service on behalf of people with disabilities that has had a lasting and significant impact on their quality of life and improved the disability services system," explains Tom Driscoll, of VBPD. "It calls attention to new approaches and best practices that produce greater opportunities for self-determination, independence, productivity, and inclusion for people with disabilities in all facets of community life."

TecAccess, the recipient of the 2006 Outstanding Achievement Award, and its founder Debra Ruh are recognized locally, nationally, and internationally as leaders in the development and implementation of information technology accessibility for people with disabilities and the elderly. In addition, the international leader in accessibility is known for unique training opportunities and employment of individuals with disabilities, including a soon to be released disabled veterans training program named VETAccess.

As a rapidly growing business, TecAccess now leads the world in Section 508 compliance guidelines used by the federal government, and has assisted with IT needs for public and private clients from Canon USA, HP, and Freddie Mac to the European Union and emerging countries throughout Africa.

"Most of TecAccess´ diverse and skilled workforce is comprised of individuals with a wide range of physical, sensory, cognitive, and other disabilities who bring the realism and practicality of their own experiences to the challenges of accessibility," says award organizers at VBPD. To best support and develop their abilities, TecAccess emphasizes flexibility and accommodation in the workplace and employer-employee relationships.

"Through their business and advocacy activities, Debra Ruh and her colleagues at TecAccess strive to stimulate creativity and encourage others to expand opportunities for individuality, freedom, and autonomy," concludes VBPD.

The organization also cites numerous awards as well as testimonials -- ranging from Virginia´s senior Senator John Warner to federal and state agencies, as well as local and national business employers and IT providers - all of which testify to TecAccess´ success in achieving accessibility goals and milestones.
