One suggestion to add to those already given. Consider changing the page
title to reflect the location chosen from navigation. For example if I
choose contact, the page title on the resulting page should include the term
contact in some capacity. Currently the titles all seem to be the same.
Making this change helps with orientation and bookmarking.

Hi there,

As just a basic "non-programmer" screenreader user, the site was
somewhat confusing to me. Not anything to do with headers or anything,
as I don't navigate by header. But, I couldn't tell what the company
is really until scrolling down a ways and kind of listening to all the
departments. I gather it is a non-profit, helping low income folks and
folks with disabilities? The site doesn't "flow" well, but I don't
really know how to explain why. It seemed like a lot of information is
repeated, like when its giving phone numbers, I'd hear the same
departments or what not that had been mentioned previously.

All the logos say "image" though. I use Voiceover with Leopard, Mac OS
10 and Safari. The skip to content link didn't work, but I never seem
to have luck with those; I think it might be a VO issue.

Sorry I'm not technical, but I'm just a user :)

HTH,
Randi

PS-It might be helpful to add a short description of the company at
the top of the page, so users know right off that they've found what
they're looking for.
