JOB DETAILS:
At Technoprise Consulting, we have spent the last 10 years utilizing technology that engages and empowers people with disabilities. What we’ve learned is that there is a wide digital divide, however when presented with an accessible computer-technology bridge, people with disabilities and the elderly step up and take advantage of the new path. Although the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) bars discrimination of people with disabilities when accessing and using the Information Communication Technology (ICT), the global Internet struggles to comply. With our experience, we hope to further accessibility research to help resolve some of the challenges people face in Africa and other developing countries. Accessibility research and solutions are at the forefront of what we do. The simple truth about accessibility is that it benefits everyone.
