Welcome

The AIR Foundation mission is to advocate, teach and deliver tools promoting accessibility to information as a fundamental human right.

The AIR Foundation envisions a time when:

  • No person will be denied access to generally available information due to a sensory limitation, a lack of training or an inability to afford accessibility tools,
  • All computer programs will have built-in accessibility options,
  • All Web pages on the Internet will be 508 compliant,
  • Internet browsers will be fully accessible, and
  • Accessibility tools will be intuitive, easy to use and free.

Operating Principles

The AIR Foundation will carry out its mission following these principles:

  • While accessibility is important for all, The AIR Foundation’s initial emphasis will be on making digital information on the Internet available to persons who are blind or experience low vision.
  • The AIR Foundation will provide an advanced accessibility tool, Sero Browser to any person connected to the Internet at no charge. It is an accessible web browser with an embedded screen-reader. It will operate on most Windows and Mac computers.
  • The AIR Foundation provides additional Internet-based training at no charge for the highly intuitive Sero Browser tool.
  • The browser will initially be provided in English; however, The AIR Foundation will make the tool available in other languages and customized for other cultures with the assistance and funding of responsible government and non-government groups concerned about accessibility.
  • The AIR Foundation seeks accessibility partners including government and non-government agencies; public and private corporations; educational institutions; and individuals. Any and all who share our commitment to delivering on the message that Accessibility Is a Right, are welcome.
