[Missouri-l] Wanted: JAWS expert to help make website accessible

[Nancy Lynn]

I am just passing along this information. I know nothing more than the 
information in this message. If you have any questions, please contact the 
person in this email. Thank you.

We're a startup funded by the National Science Foundation to build a 
prototype for the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO).  Part of the 
requirement is to make their patent filing and examination system more 
accessible.

We're looking for someone on this list who can educate us on screen readers 
(JAWS in particular) and provide feedback as we make our browser-based word 
processor and drawing editor accessible to vision and dexterity impaired 
users.  We can pay.
  a.. We prefer someone local; we're in the California San Francisco Bay 
Area.
  b.. We prefer someone knowledgeable with HTML ARIA tags (a programmer 
familiar with JavaScript would be best)

  c.. We prefer someone familiar with 508-compliance requirements.
Thank you; if interested, contact Rocky at 510-601-7625 or
