Hi Koel,

I am afraid I do not have any helpful data for you, although I wish you
luck in your research and want to express my appreciation of your
accessibility efforts. I do have one suggestion: Instead of just a
blanket reference to the disabled, it might be better to say something
like 'the section of the population who have disabilityes" or
'researching on accessibility for people with disabilities." I would
hope you aren't doing research on disabled accessibility. It wouldn't
be very profitable. :) *smile*
