The Washington State University Web Accessibility Strategies have been established as a part of Washington State University's commitment and obligation (see Appendix A) to assist people with disabilities to receive reasonable accommodations in academic and non-academic programs in order to provide them an equal opportunity to participate fully in all aspects of student life at WSU.

The strategies are also intended to increase awareness of issues and abilities of people with disabilities among WSU students, faculty and staff. WSU is considered a national leader in the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning.
