WCAG 2.1 became a finalized standard in June of 2018 and WCAG 2.2 became a finalized standard in in October 2023. The Europe Union has been using WCAG 2.1 for five years. In April 2023, DOJ published a final rule setting WCAG 2.1 as the standard under ADA for state and local governments (Title II). If your organization is using only WCAG 2.0 Level AA to audit your web properties, what accessibility features are you missing? Bruce and Rachael will explore and answer this question by reviewing the Success Criteria added in WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 as well as AAA requirements from WCAG 2.0. Sign Language and Real Time Captioning will be available. Questions for the presenter can be submitted during the registration process.

Access to health facilities and equipment is a basic need. Whether it is a routine visit to the dentist, a problem appointment with the primary care physician or assistance with activities of daily living in a long-term care facility. Accessible medical facilities and equipment allow everyone, including people with disabilities, to actively participate in and manage their health. This presentation will address the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) for licensed medical care facilities including hospitals, rehabilitation, psychiatric and detoxification facilities, licensed long-term care and assisted living facilities, and facilities specializing in treating conditions that affect mobility. Design standards for medical diagnostic equipment will also be discussed. Video remote interpreting and real-time captioning will be provided in this webinar. Questions can be submitted in advance of the session during the registration process or may be posed during the live webinar.
