The new Special Needs SIG is dedicated to providing information to assist technical communicators with disabilities; furnishing all technical communicators with information to help them make communication products more accessible for users with disabilities; and offering strategic leadership, to help harness technology and methodology to assist people with disabilities in the general population.

But we have much yet to do, and we need more people. If you have a disability, if you don't have a disability but prepare communication products for users who do, or if you are committed to the concept of helping people take the "dis" out "disabilities," then we urge you to join us.
As a Special Needs SIG member, you will (with your permission, of course) be added to our robust and spirited listserv, receive our online newsletter, and join our efforts to fulfill our mission. Even if you are not in a position to contribute time as an Active participant we still ask for your support in joining us now as a Patron, thereby committing to include your SNSIG affiliation when you submit your STC membership renewal later this fall.
