.  The use of technology has become a part of pretty much every American’s life. Admit it, one of the first things you do pretty much every day is check your email,  but how would you feel if you couldn’t scroll down to continue reading a message that came in, or even see the message at all?
   There are more than one billion people with disabilities or impairments that make accessing technology hard. May 18 is Global Accessibility Awareness Day, a time to call attention to digital access and inclusion. It is also the official launch day for “Managing Digital Inclusion: A Case Study” by Dr. Belo Miguel Cipriani, founder of Oleb Media, a Twin Cities-based digital access consulting firm that is dedicated to helping companies reach and engage the disability community. 
   Belo was interviewed by WCCO TV's Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield for a story that aired on both May 14 and May 15, 2023.
“Managing Digital Inclusion” provides case studies on companies that have gone above and beyond to make sure they are providing the best access possible to people with disabilities. The book also examines the misconceptions other companies have about the true meaning of digital inclusion, the barriers some small companies face when it comes to wanting to comply with the law, and provides recommendations for small business owners, technology companies, designers, policy makers, and research institutions on how to do a better job serving people with disabilities.
   Copies of “Managing Digital Inclusion: A Case Study” are available for free download everywhere eBooks are sold. Learn more about Oleb media online at Olebmedia.com
