<h2>Bio </h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Judy Brewer directs the <a href="/WAI/">Web Accessibility Initiative</a>
|
|
(WAI) at the <a href="/">World Wide Web Consortium</a> (W3C). Since September
|
|
1997 she has coordinated five areas of work for W3C with regard to Web
|
|
accessibility: ensuring that W3C technologies (HTML, CSS, SMIL, XML, etc.) <a
|
|
href="/WAI/PF/">support accessibility</a>; developing accessibility guidelines
|
|
for <a href="/TR/WCAG20/">Web content</a>, <a href="/TR/UAAG10/">browsers and
|
|
multimedia players</a>, <a href="/TR/ATAG10/">authoring tools</a>, and <a
|
|
href="/TR/xag.html">XML applications</a>; <a href="/WAI/ER/">improving tools
|
|
for evaluation and repair of Web sites</a>; conducting <a
|
|
href="/WAI/EO/">education and outreach on Web accessibility</a>; and <a
|
|
href="/WAI/RD/">monitoring research and development</a> which may impact future
|
|
accessibility of the Web. WAI guidelines developed through this work include
|
|
the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/">Web Content Accessibility
|
|
Guidelines</a>, adopted by an increasing number of governments around the
|
|
world, and <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/AU/">Authoring Tool Accessibility
|
|
Guidelines</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/">User Agent Accessibility
|
|
Guidelines</a>.<br>

|
|
accessibility solutions. She is a Principle Research Scientist at MIT’s
|
|
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).</p>

|
|
reform; an Equality of Access and Opportunity Award from the American

|
|
<p>Prior to joining W3C, Judy worked on several US-based initiatives to
|
|
increase access to mainstream technology for people with disabilities, and to
|
|
improve dialog between industry and the disability community. These initiatives
|
|
included work on Section 508 of the Workforce Investment Act, Section 255 of
|
|
the Telecommunications Act, accessibility of the Windows 95 Operating System,
|
|
and access to durable medical equipment for people with disabilities. Judy has
|
|
a background in management, technical writing, education, applied linguistics,
|
|
and disability advocacy.<br>
