As the Web
has become widespread, people with disabilities face being locked
out of many opportunities for communication, commerce, and community
if web sites are not accessible to them. We take the responsibility
seriously for making our web site content accessible. By creating
a Bobby Approved web site, we have ensured that the content of
our web site can be navigated and read by everyone, regardless
of location, experience, or the type of computer technology used.
