Art & Disability On Line - Survey Your Views
& Ideas Count!
If you are an artist in any field or are interested in art, we want to know what you think about making art presented on the Internet accessible. Art may be made accessible through "modality translation." For example, a piece of music on a web site might be conveyed to someone who is deaf through a text description or through vibrations delivered through a special, inexpensive mouse. Descriptive Video makes art accessible to people who are blind or vision disabled. Please help us better understand issues around making art accessible by filling out our brief online survey:

Inspire, Inform and Make a Change
THE TIES THAT BIND: An Internet Community and Engagement Project
 Meet the Jordan family. Chris has multiple disabilities. His aging mother and father face serious illness. The whole family must plan for an uncertain future.
This site explores new ways of looking at how to approach creating more meaning, ending isolation and authoring our own lives. We hope to inspire you through the stories on this site, provide information to dig deeper into these issues and create a place where you can take part and make changes in your own communities.
This site begins by telling the Jordan story and we hope that you will engage in the site by telling your story, giving your opinions and finding an event in your area. The more we can share the more we will learn.
