IVR Accessibility Forum Disability Implications Matrix
The IVR Accessibility Forum has developed a Disability Implications Matrix to provide the industry with information about the barriers and advantages of IVR Systems for people with disabilities. The information is accessible in three ways. The application view is by product or industry, the interface view shows each step required by a user, and the disability view shows interface implications for specific disability categories. All views include links to definitions in the IVR Accessibility Glossary.

IVR Accessibility Checklist
The purpose for the checklist is to provide a method for assessing disability accessibility for IVRs. [Please click here to view the checklist]
