IBM has a long-standing commitment to people with disabilities which began in 1914 when we hired our first disabled employee. In keeping with that commitment to accessibility, IBM strongly supports the Federal government's use of accessibility as a criterion in the procurement of Electronic Information Technology (EIT). Our own efforts to define and deliver sensible and effective approaches to promote accessibility evolved as the government defined its standards for Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
