Bruce Sexton is a member of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and the National Federation of the Blind of California (NFB-CA). NFB and NFB-CA are non-profit organizations mostly comprised of members who are blind. The organization’s aim is to “promote the general welfare of the blind.” Sexton is legally blind and uses JAWS screen reader software to access the Internet. He frequently uses the Internet for a variety of purposes, including researching products and comparing prices. On several occasions he attempted to use Target.com with his screen reader but was unable to fully access the website. Target is one of the U.S.’s largest retailers, operating 1,400 stores nationwide. Target also operates a web site at Target.com, where customers can get information about products, utilize services, and purchase items available in Target stores.
