About The Sierra Group:
The Sierra Group Academy and Tamman, Inc.’s 360 Degree Collaboration
Committed to spreading the word about digital inclusion AND the accommodations per the ADA, in the summer of 2020 when the world was emerging from the full pandemic lockdown mode, digital accessibility for Americans with disabilities was more critical than ever before. 64 million Americans with disabilities were beholden to live and work and shop and tele-health remotely, just like everyone else. However, communication tools and IT systems were not fully inclusive to support them.
About the US Access Board:
The Access Board is an independent federal agency devoted to accessibility for people with disabilities. The Board develops and maintains design criteria for the built environment, transit vehicles, telecommunications equipment, and for electronic and information technology.
