In this episode of the Bottom-Line IT Show, Mike Maddox talks with Chris Knapp of Accessiversity about his mission to use technology to meet the needs of those with disabilities. Chris and Mike talk about how accessibility goes much deeper than a website plugin. It’s about business processes and considering your user experience.
