The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 calls on us to work together to develop and implement accessibility standards that will apply to public, private and non-profit sectors. Standards are being developed in five important areas of our lives, one of which is information and communications.

The standards development committee is:

• studying the kinds of barriers that people with a range of disabilities experience in the area of information and communications in Ontario; and
• developing accessibility standards to help businesses and organizations communicate with and provide information to consumers of all abilities.
