I hate to break the bubble of using any form of CAPTCHA. Many deafblind
using Braille cannot access the audio and visual information on the screen.
If the CAPTCHA can be access through Braille display or similar devices then
it's not a problem.

Seth: I'm a big fan of your solution, except that it may be problematic for
people with dyscalculia (= math-related learning disabilities).
 
reCAPTCHA is another strategy that provides both visual and audio access.

I am sure there are a ton of captcha out there that are accessible but a
way that I have done it is with a simple math question.


Example: In the Label you would put: Please enter in the value for the
math problem 1 + 1 This way people without disabilities know what to do as well as people
with disabilities.

I need code for a simple form that is both accessible and has some sort
of spam block. Does anyone know where I can find some?
