ARLINGTON, Wash., June 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Arlington Public Schools is making its
centralized district website, which includes all schools within the
district, more accessible to individuals with disabilities by
selecting AudioEye (NASDAQ: AEYE) as its web
accessibility solution. AudioEye is a leader in digital
accessibility solutions that ensure barrier-free website access for
individuals with disabilities.
The AudioEye web accessibility solution, Ally Managed Service,
identifies and fixes website errors that may otherwise prevent
someone with a disability from being able to access or navigate
digital content. Many individuals with disabilities utilize
assistive technologies when browsing the web. As an example,
someone who is blind relies upon a screen reader to read online
content. If a website isn't properly coded, the screen reader is
not able to seamlessly read this online content for the individual,
thereby impeding his or her access to that site's information.
"We want to do everything we can to remove any online barriers,
ensuring all of our students, families, staff and community members
can access all areas of our websites," said Arlington Public Schools Director of
Communications, Gary Sabol. "Equal
access for visitors of all abilities is incredibly important to us,
and the AudioEye solution ensures we are providing that
barrier-free experience for each and every one of our site
visitors."
"We are thrilled to be selected as the web accessibility
solution for Arlington Public
Schools," added AudioEye CEO Todd
Bankofier. "The District's commitment to equal access for
all will positively impact the lives of thousands of students and
their family members, and we are incredibly proud to be aligned
with an organization that places such a high priority on digital
inclusion."
The AudioEye solution also enhances usability for site
visitors. The Ally Toolbar can be activated by selecting the
AudioEye icon at the bottom right-hand side of the site and allows
users to customize a site based on their individual preference. For
example, users who are color blind can change the color contrast,
users who are dyslexic can change the font type, users with low
vision can change the font size, and more. The Toolbar also
includes a Help Desk feature for those users who may be
experiencing an accessibility barrier.
