edwards.house.gov includes several features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. Some of these features are described below.

Images on the site contain "alt tags," which aid users who listen to the content of the site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site. When ever possible, text transcripts accompany audio clips of the Congressman's speeches and remarks. In addition to the features that make the graphics version of the site more accessible, a text-only version will soon be provided as an added convenience for users.

Users can get information regarding the accessibility of Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files from the Access Adobe website. To improve the accessibility of edwards.house.gov, the office of Congressman Edwards has reviewed the site's accessibility with a wide range of outside web tools. Enhancements have been incorporated into the website based on the results of these reviews. Congressman Edwards welcomes comments on how to improve the site's accessibility for users with disabilities.
