If you’ve found it difficult to lend something to the conversation on accessibility – now is your chance to get involved. WebAIM is conducting a rather important survey to gauge how blind and low vision users are accessing the Internet, and they want to hear your input on the subject..

WebAIM is an initiative of the Center for Persons with Disabilities, a program sponsored by Utah State University, which has provided research through the years on how individuals with alternative access needs are consuming media and information digitally. They are hosting a short survey to collect an updated look at just how our community is using technology on the web.

Why is this important? Because, in many instances, I’ve talked with developers and software engineers that reference WebAIM’s research to decide which adaptive tech solutions and software get priority in their accessibility efforts. This means, if you don’t represent your preferences, it’s hard to think developers will take them into consideration when making things accessible. Sound logic, right?

The survey took a total of four minutes, – so head over here and complete it while you’re thinking about it. WebAIM will close the survey today, so don’t put it off another second. Take the WebAIM survey now – and lend your voice to the accessibility discussion in a mighty way.
