I thought this resource was awesome! It's great to see vacationing enjoyable for all people, regardless of an impairment, disability, etc. I think that their website was very informative. Even though, the words were small I feel that it's still easy to access the information and could easily be magnified or spoken using AT on a computer. There was a page that I thought could use EqTDs. The section showing pictures of past trips that people have taken could use EqTDs to allow folks with vision impairments to get an idea of some of the vacations that others have taken.

"July 26 marks the 19th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.... the ADA's provisions include the right to seek, obtain, pursue and maintain employment without being hampered by physical or attitudinal barriers. I believe that having a job is a civil right. Those who are qualified for and want to work should not be denied that right because of an inaccessible building or an outdated set of assumptions about what they can or cannot do..."
