BIT inklusivDer DVBS, repräsentiert durch das Projekt BIT inklusiv, fördert neue Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten durch barrierefreie Informationstechnik. Zum Angebot des Projekts gehört die Bündelung von Know-how in Form von Kompetenzzentren und der Qualifizierung von Schlüsselpersonen in Behörden und Unternehmen.

Ein Praxistauglichkeitstest zur Nutzung von IT-Anwendungen mit Hilfsmitteln – Screenreader – wird unter Einbeziehung von Expertinnen und Experten aus den entsprechenden Bereichen entwickelt.
