Hi there,

I guess I'm a little confused. I had joined the IAAP in hopes of
understanding more about certification and it's ongoing progress. However, I
was under the impression that it was being designed for people such as
myself who are totally blind and interested in testing websites/software for
accessibility. According to your description below, this is not to be the
case? This begs the question, if I wantto be certified as some sort of
accessibility specialist who has a disability, where would I look?that's why
I posted what I did on the community foruma few weeks back.I feel like I
have the passion and some of the knowledge necessary for understanding
accessibility, but I will be the first to admit that I need help in
acquiring more skills and suitable credentials. so… Where do I go and what
do I do?
Thanks, Dave
