The White House is Asking for Input from People with Disabilities
by Beth
Among the many changes the new administration made in its first week was to make a commitment to ensure its site is accessible to all Americans. A White House Accessibility Statement released this past week says its Whitehouse.gov site will conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1, level AA criteria — guidelines that not only help make web content accessible to users with sensory, cognitive and mobility disabilities, but ultimately to all users, regardless of ability.
The statement says its ongoing accessibility efforts will “work toward making WhiteHouse.gov as accessible as possible,” and, to that end, they are looking for help from experts: us!
You read that right. Users with disabilities are encouraged to send comments on how to improve the site’s accessibility, and here’s how you can :
- Switchboard: 202-456-1414
- TTY/TDD Phone Numbers (for the Hearing Impaired Only):202-456-6213
- Visitors Office: 202-456-2121
Let’s chime in, shall we? Let freedom ring!

Some children with compromised immune systems or other life-threatening medical issues are nonetheless required to attend classes at a distance.

Even as their peers return to class, some kids with weakened immune systems or other medical conditions that put them at high danger have forced to continue their remote schooling.
