Episode Description

Today, we’re excited to have Program Development Specialist, Donald Clark, join us from the DC Department on Disability Services (DDS). 

Making tech accessible to all, is a core OCTO principle that always informs our work – which is why having DDS as a guest is so important.    

The District's Tech Plan is focused on Unleashing the Possible. OCTO knows everyone can’t unleash the possible – unless everyone has tech access. Whether it’s our Web Team using tools to scan all DC Government websites for accessibilityor deploying the full suite of Microsoft Accessibility Solutions, when OCTO leads or supports initiatives, we strive to effectively serve people with different hearing, sight and neuro-diverse needs.  

In the works now is an exciting collaboration with ODR to require DC Government agencies to ensure that their websites are fully accessible…so having DDS’ Donald Clark – as our guest today is perfect!
