"Again, sounds like we are designing pages for people with only one kind of
disability."

Actually the skip links can benefit those who use the keyboard instead of
the mouse. This concept work well with people with low vision and don't use
screen readers, less time to find the link or/and content of the page. Also
we need to consider people have carpal tunnels and cannot use the mouse.

Many thanks for the suggestion as I'm going back to the drawing board to
revise the hidden skip links with CSS. The testing site is
http://aadb.org/testing if anyone is curious of my new project. It still
has a long way to go.

Take care,
