Hi. I'm sure y'all will be interested in this. I haven't checked out the link

Friends and colleagues:  



Today CVS announced that it is providing ScripTalk talking prescription labels 
to customers with visual impairments ordering through cvs.com. The press 
release is available at http://lflegal.com/2014/03/cvs-prescription-press/. The 
new CVS initiative will ensure that cvs.com customers who are blind can access 
the critical health and safety information provided in a standard print  
prescription label. 



The number to call at CVS.com to order a prescription with the talking labels 
is: 1-888-607-4287.  To listen to the information in the talking label you need 
the ScripTalk reader which is available free of charge from Envision America at 
800-890-1180.   Customers should call CVS.com first unless they have general 
questions about the ScripTalk program.



Today's announcement is the result of Structured Negotiations between CVS and 
the American Council of the Blind (ACB), the California Council of the Blind 
(CCB) and the American Foundation for the Blind.  The organizations were 
represented by the Law Office of Lainey Feingold and by Linda Dardarian of the 
Oakland civil rights firm Goldstein, Borgen, Dardarian and Ho 
(http://gbdhlegal.com)



As always, feedback welcomed.  We know that the mainstream press is never too 
interested in positive accessibility news that arises out of collaboration; we 
appreciate your effort to help us spread the word about this important 
initiatve.



The settlement agreement is available at 
http://lflegal.com/2014/03/cvs-prescription-agreement/.  No lawsuit was needed. 
 This is the second time that CVS has worked with the blind community in 
Structured Negotiations -- a collaborative dispute resolution process that has 
been used for twenty years t increase access to  print and digital information 
and technology.  In 2009 CVS signed an agreement about the accessibility of its 
website and tactile keypads for its point of sale devices.  More information on 
that initiative is here: http://lflegal.com/2009/07/cvs-press/
