As most of you know, here at AFB, we are constantly working to make life more accessible for people with vision loss, and lately there has been a good deal of buzz about the work AFB Consulting (AFBC) is doing to make web sites accessible to all individuals. Back in April, AFBC launched its new initiative in web accessibility: the Accessibility Assurance Program (AAP)—and both AFB and the lead AAP participant, Marriott International have been working together to get this initiative moving forward. Now we need your help to determine if users are having difficulty accessing any aspect of Marriott's web site such as making or canceling a reservation, learning about a hotel's amenities, or redeeming your Marriot Rewards points.

We'd love anyone using assistive technology to visit Marriott's AAP page and take a look at the Marriott Site Accessibility Policy page and its Site Accessibility FAQs. If you encounter any accessibility issues, please let us know by submitting the Accessibility Feedback form.

Now's your chance to help us improve web accessibility—don't miss out!
