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 (

)
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 talking prescription settlement agreement is available at
http://lflegal.com/2014/03/cvs-prescription-agreement/
.  With Structured Negotiations, 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 to 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:
