CNIB
We have an ongoing working relationship with the CNIB as accessibility compliance testers and evaluators. We test and evaluate websites and manage usability testing. Sterling Creations recently completed a project for the CNIB which involved a high level accessibility evaluation and supervision of a usability testing team. Sterling Creations wrote the high level evaluation report, as well as the usability questionnaire and usability task list. We conducted all of the user interviews and submitted a usability report. This project focused on accessibility issues for the website for the Psychiatric Patient Advocate office of the Ontario government.
The Greater Toronto Airport Authority
Sterling Creations is pleased to be working with the Greater Toronto Airport Authority. In March 2005 We were invited to Toronto’s Pearson international airport to view the airport customer assistance program (ACAP) which is one of the first in the world.

We are extremely excited about this program and we look forward to more collaboration with the GTAA.

Our Work With Foundations and Non-Profit Organizations
Sterling Creations is very pleased to be a part of the Torres Foundation’s projects and initiatives. In February 2005, Donna Jodhan, president of Sterling Creations, was invited by the Torres Foundation to speak at the Cariatech Conference in Trinidad. The conference was the first of its kind to be held in the Caribbean. In addition to Donna, Ted Henter of Hentermath and one of the founders of Freedom Scientific, was the main speaker and was also part of the ribbon cutting ceremony. Donna spoke on two topics: issues of employment facing special-needs persons, and the importance of accessible websites. This conference was seen as the first major breakthrough for special-needs persons in the Caribbean as they work towards building partnerships with governments and businesses to develop and foster training, employment, and educational programs. The Torres Foundation has assumed a leadership role and has asked Sterling Creations to be a part of their team. The Torres Foundation is also focusing its efforts on projects in the U.S. as well as Europe.
