American Council of the Blind of Texas

What We Did

This website provides information for the visually impaired and for their families and friends. The Design Team studied Web Accessibility and searched for a WordPress theme that would support this. The theme provided changes of font-size, color contrast choices, and support for navigation. The website we were updating included a large amount of content that needed to be copied to the new site and organized carefully.

What I Taught

My function as the instructor was to provide training in Web Accessibility and to serve as the liaison between myself and the American Council webmaster, Paul Hunt. It was a very exciting experience to work through real-world problems to provide an accessible website.

In addition, I also worked with the team manager, Oscar Diaz, to help him develop leadership and communication skills with the team.
