Rockville, VA - July 20, 2006--
Mission Pharmacal Company, the makers of Citracal, has featured Debra Ruh, the Founder and CEO of TecAccess, and her uplifting success story among their national "Stand Strong" campaign, www.standstrong.com.

"We created the Stand Strong site as a place to read and share stories about ordinary women with extraordinary strength and character," said Travis Lippert, of Mission Pharmacal Company.

The popular Stand Strong website has quickly emerged as a place to celebrate stories of courage, as well as to inspire other women from across the country.

Ruh, who formed TecAccess in 2001, is also the Mother of a child with Down syndrome and knows first-hand the struggles that individuals with disabilities face in the workplace on a daily basis.

"When my daughter, Sara, was in middle-school," explained Ruh, "I realized the daunting job market that she would one day face and the preconceived notions that some employers have when hiring an employee with a disability. I knew, as any parent knows their child, that Sara was capable of so much more than many realized. That´s when I started TecAccess -- a company that hires people with disabilities; a company that proves just how much can be accomplished when given the right accommodations and chance to grow."

Debra Ruh´s entire success story is shared on the Stand Strong site, including examples of her steadfast dedication to using a unique business model to bring accessibility issues to the attention of the entire international community. By hiring IT accessibility consultants, many of whom have disabilities, TecAccess can offer first-hand knowledge to help others understand how to make all Electronic and Information Technology (E&IT) accessible to others with disabilities and age- related limitations.

Specializing in E&IT accessibility and Section 508 compliance solutions, Ruh´s company is now known worldwide for the first hand perspective and accessibility expertise offered by her team of award- winning consultants.
