Subject: Accessible interactive, point-of-sales (POS) devices

Good morning Vicki and Alison, 


I am wondering if in your Kiosk research you may have found any resources that would help me with a report that I am writing. Please forward this along to anyone you believe may be able to help. 



I am doing research into interactive devices, particularly point-of-sales / Interac / Debit (POS) devices. I am looking for resources, from any jurisdiction, of the following varieties to inform my report: 


1. Examples of accessible POS or similar devices. 


2 Any standards and guidelines for the accessibility of POS or similar devices. 


3. Laws that mandate the full, or partial, accessibility of POS or similar devices. 


4. Examples of successful use of laws to enforce the accessibility of POS devices. 


I will publicly post the list of resources that I collect for reuse. 


Thank you in advance,
