There are many sources of information about accessibility
issues in the UK. Some are very useful and have been
utilised here:
My Web, My Way is a new website (from the BBC) which
aims to help arm web audiences with the tools and understanding
which will enable them to make the most of the world-wide
web, whatever their ability or disability.
The site provides advice and help to all those people
who would benefit from making changes to their browser,
operating system, or computer to be able to view the
web in a more accessible way.
The site is not only for those with disabilities (visual,
hearing, motor, cognitive or learning impairments)
but also, for example, for those people with minor
vision impairments who would not consider themselves
to have a disability.
