Accessibility of the Google Apps Suite

The Access Technology Higher Education Network (ATHEN), in its continuing effort to assist higher education institutions ascertain the accessibility of the Google Apps suite, conducted accessibility evaluations on GMail and Google Calendar. The evaluations cover assistive technologies used for visual, mobility, learning, and cognitive disabilities.
