ABSTRACT

Many of us think of Web accessibility in terms of accommodating users with disabilities, particularly visual disabilities. Larry Hull sees it as a wee bit more than that. In this Whiteboard he tells us why, and proposes a different way of addressing accessibility---an approach that just might surprise us.---Elizabeth Buie
