| I'm giving a presentation on Accessibility to a group of computer
| science majors. I'm interested in any topics that this list would
| recommend be covered.

| I plan on discussing Web accessibility, and designing accessible
| software. Of course, I will use the Section 508 and W3C materials
| as a beginning point. I'm open to additional suggestions of what
| computer science majors should know about accessibility.

I forgot to add that it is good to hear this presentation is going to
happen.

Also as far as development of software, a few links that might be of
help:

A look at the Universal Design resources at Trace center may be helpful.
_Designing a More Usable World - for All_ <http://trace.wisc.edu/world/>;
Main Topics on this page:
* General UD Information, Standards and Guidelines [laws, standards,
principles, design, etc...]
* UD Information by Topic [many topics including kiosks, etc...]
-- <http://trace.wisc.edu/world/computer_access/>; [computer and
software design pieces here]
