Utah State University's Disability Research, Policy & Practice is receiving a 7.2 million dollar grant to open the National Center on Accessible Digital Educational Materials and Instruction (NCADEMI). The grant will provide $1.8 million each year for the next four years. Cynthia Curry will be the director of the organization. NCADEMI will work with the Technical Assistance for Excellence in Special Education (TAESE) and Web Accessibility in Mind (WebAIM). NCADEMI will develop new materials targeted at governmental agencies, public schools, and universities to help them comply with the government's update to the ADA, which requires web content and mobile applications to be accessible.
