Advancements continue to be made in the world of digital accessibility. At GDG, we currently follow WCAG.2 guidelines for all new websites created and modify existing websites based on client needs. This however only assists users with hearing and visual impairments. In 2021, we hope to expand that to users with IDD – intellectual and developmental disabilities. Software and technology is being created by agencies around the world that we hope to add to our list of services. 

Mission Road Ministries is a non-profit organization serving children and adults with IDD in the San Antonio, Texas area. GDG will continue to support their digital initiatives and expand our knowledge base to assist those with IDD via digital capabilities.
