March 16th Audio Conference "Conducting Effective Accessibility Surveys, Part I"

When conducting effective accessibility surveys, the most commonly asked questions tend to be: what to measure, how to measure, who is qualified to do a survey, and what tools are available to conduct the survey. If you are interested in learning more about this topic, please plan to attend the upcoming ADA audio conference in March. This will be the first session in a two-part series. The series will finish in April.

There are 13 Audio Conference locations that are free and open to the public. Visit our AUDIO CONFERENCE page to find a location near you.
