Get Involved

Our approach is based on broad involvement of the community, and we need help from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and skills. RtF is just getting off the ground, and this is a great time to join the initiative as an early contributor.

Contribute and collaborate with us

  • AT Vendors and developers - Join us by creating web-based virtual versions of your products that run from web without requiring user installation on the computer.  If your product installs, then work with us to set it up to allow users to auto-configure it from their cloud profile when they sit down to a public computer that has your software on it.   
     
  • Programmers and Designers- Tackle a useful, important problem. Start with the Challenges page.
     
  • Students and Academic Researchers: We encourage you to work on an RtF project as a research project, thesis subject, or dissertation topic.  See the Challenges page for ideas, or propose your own.
     
  • People with Disabilities-
    • If you are a developer, student, or researcher, see above.
    • If you would like to help developers, students, or policymakers better understand disability and what is needed, register with us so we can put your insights to work. We need expert consumers to advise, try, test, and support new projects, report bugs, and write documentation. Some of this work will offer professional positions and training.
    • Check out the Challenges page. 
       
  • Everyone - Take a look at the Challenges page, the rest of this site, and the GPII site. There are lots of things that need doing and skills of all types are needed. Find something that looks interesting, or write us and tell us of your skills and interest. We have teams of all types and teams needed skills of all types. Email us with some details about how you'd like to help. If you have a great idea, but no idea how to get started, email us with your idea.

Make a Donation

Donations of all sizes are welcome. Even $1 makes you a supporter and helps the cause. It is amazing how fast they can add up if we all just give a little.  And you can do it by credit card.  See Making contributions.

Spread the word

It's simple, it's easy, and it's powerful. If you don't have the time or the resource to contribute, just spread the word. Tell your friends and family about the work we're doing, the solutions that we have available, and the ways that they can help out.
