How self-absorbed do I feel right now? Prior to this article, I never took the time to realize how internet technology and website development might affect persons with disabilities. It makes me wonder how accessible my office website is. Our extensive use of PDFs and graphics might be our downfall.
I was surprised that the government had made acccessibility guidelines such a priority in 1999 but am curious as the to the extent of its follow-up and follow through. It leaves me with several questions: Have accessibility guidelines been extended into the private sector? If so, what are the consequences for non-compliance? And are companies working on better software/tools for disability accessibility?
