You will recall that Google had gotten into some hot water with the National
Federation of the Blind (NFB) last spring. NFB had lodged a formal complaint
to the Department of Justice on concerns it had regarding the accessibility
of the free Google Apps for Education (docs, sites, gmail, etc.). Yesterday
the Google Apps Update blog reported that they had made some accessibility
improvements.



Here's the link to the announcement from Google
