Web Accessibility - So, What is Web Accessibility - (for general public)
Does your organization have, or are you planning to have, a web site? Have you done everything you can to make sure that your web site is accessible to everyone? What about those with visual or cognitive impairments? Users with physical or motor-control difficulties that make mouse pointing difficult or impossible?

- Participants will be introduced to screen readers that are used by (mostly) blind computer users
- Participants will learn about access to the Internet by persons with physical disabilities
