Many organizations fail to prioritize or even consider accessibility when designing their websites, which creates unnecessary obstacles for the over 40 million Americans who have a disability.

ITIF hosted an expert panel discussion on federal government web accessibility and policy proposals for agencies to improve their compliance.
