Tartaglione new Website

Speaking in support of Pennsylvania’s efforts to provide new technology to people with disabilities, state Sen. Christine M. Tartaglione announced a redesign of her Senate Web site to make it more accessible for vision or hearing impaired constituents. “About a year ago, I found out about software that reads Web sites for the blind,” Tartaglione told officials and supporters of the Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation (PATF). “At the same time I found out that many Web sites -- including my own -- can be confusing to users of this software because of fancy bells and whistles that look clever, but the software can’t read.” For more on PATF, visit Tartaglione’s redesigned Web site at: www.SenatorTartaglione.com.
