AT&T Spotlighted for Accessibility

October 2013 — The Global Initiative for Inclusive Information and Communication Technologies (G3ict) released a report highlighting the Corporate Accessibility Technology Office (CATO) at AT&T.  The report notes that although CATO was established in 2012, this is only the most recent effort by AT&T to ensure accessibility for both employees and consumers. As an office, CATO works to ensure that products comply with accessibility regulations while also raising awareness and providing training concerning disability-related issues and performing outreach to members of the disability community.  The report also highlights CATO’s prospective projects including company-wide accessibility standards, additional employee trainings concerning accessibility-related issues, and collaborations with equipment manufacturers to both educate manufacturers and “advocate for incorporating accessibility technology into mobile product design.”
