Communication & Information-Focused Programs
Information Technology
⫸ Website Accessibility – The UserWay accessibility plugin helps individuals with varying degrees of visual impairment by enhancing their browsing experience to better meet their needs. Web users overcome any senses that may have softened or deteriorated over time by allowing them to adjust the text size, highlighting clickable areas so they don’t get lost among the other content, increasing the size of the mouse pointer, and using higher contrast colors. SourcePoint is one organization in Delaware County that has employed the UserWay plugin. Visit MySourcePoint.org and look for the round blue icon peeking out from the center-right of your screen. Click it to unhide the accessibility features and explore! >> Learn More
