It is my hope to find and place articles here that will give you an idea of how those with disabilities “see” and use the web site. So here is the first and I hope to have more to follow.
- A Christmas tale about accessible shopping
- Léonie Watson is Nomensa’s Head of Accessibility and visually impaired.
- Surfing Blind

- Staying Focused
- By Stephanie May (on Text - to - Speech)
- Multiple Technologies Clear Obstacles

Videos
- Introduction to Web Accessibility
- This WebAIM article includes two videos where people with disabilities are interviewed on camera. The first, “Keeping Web Accessibility in Mind,” is a bit long and about accessibility in general. The second, “Experiences of Students with Disabilities,” is shorter and exclusively interviews.
- AssistiveWare videos
- These show some of the most extreme uses of assistive technologies. Mike, who suffers spinal muscular atrophy plays many video games including first person shooters using a Mac. A woman with ALS controlling her computer with a switch taped to her cheek and woman with cerebral palsy who uses her computer to do graphic design work.
