It sets new standards so that Americans with disabilities can take advantage of the technology our economy depends on. And that\u2019s especially important in today\u2019s economy, when every worker needs the necessary skills to compete for the jobs of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will help Americans with disabilities work more productively, respond to emergencies more effectively, and participate even more in society and culture,&#8221; added Mark Richert, director of Public Policy at AFB and a principal negotiator with the communications and TV industries.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation:<br \/>\nMandates mobile phone companies to make Web browsers, text messaging, and e-mail on smart phones fully accessible.<br \/>\nRestores and expands requirements for video description of television programs, in addition to requiring cable companies to make their program guides and selection menus accessible to people with vision loss.<br \/>\nEnsures people with vision loss have access to emergency broadcast information.<br \/>\nProvides $10 million in funding each year for assistive technology for deaf-blind individual.<br \/>\nEnsures that Internet-enabled mobile phones are hearing aid compatible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarlier this year, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act right here in the White House,\u201d Obama said. \u201cAnd it was a moment for every American to reflect not just on one of the most comprehensive civil rights bills in our history, but what that bill meant to so many people. It was a victory won by countless Americans who refused to accept the world as it is, and against great odds, waged quiet struggles and grassroots crusades until finally change was won.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among those attending the White House ceremony was singer Stevie Wonder, who is blind.<\/p>\n<p>________________<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fonte:<\/strong> <a
