Call for Abstracts: Digital Accessibility and Title II of the ADA
Abstract submission deadline: July 19, 2024. Abstracts will be reviewd by July 29, 2024. Invited full articles due October 18, 2024.
Our Spring 2025 Special Issue is a collaboration between the Developmental Disabilities Network Journal and WebAIM. This special issue will be focused on digital accessibility and the implications of the newly published final rule revising Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
This special issue will be dedicated to evidence-based processes and practices for entities to ensure the accessibility of digital content, information, services, programs, or activities. We are interested in all facets of this topic, welcoming solution-oriented abstracts that help put all state and local government entities on a path toward meeting the new requirements of Title II of the ADA. We need to know not only the challenges, but also solutions within the context of the lived experience of persons with disabilities, their families, and the communities in which they live.
