The Sky Accessibility website has information for people with different disabilities, including blind and partially sighted people. You can choose your OS, then the task you want to do, such as increase text size, changing colours or enlarging your mouse cursor.

Subject: [WebAIM] looking for a tutorial for beginners on making a computer more accessible to someone with low vision

hello list,

Can someone please point me at a good tutorial for beginners on making a computer more accessible to someone with low vision?

I am hoping to find something that explains how to increase the computer's default font size, how to use custom style-sheets on web sites and anything else that this very knowledgeable crowd would consider useful.

thanks!
Sandy
