The US DHHS released a Section 508 Awareness video in December 2010, which can be seen at http://www.hhs.gov/web/508/index.html, as well as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZy_WviXw2w. the video includes persons who are blind and persons with dexterity impairments - one of the individuals featured is blind and hard-of-hearing, I believe, though not DeafBlind.

The University of Washington DO-IT Center (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) http://www.washington.edu/doit/, has many great videos online - you may want to check for any featuring DeafBlind persons, if you haven't already.

Subject: [WebAIM] videos of DeafBlind internet users?

Randy Pope's response to the question about designing fixed-width versus fluid width for accessibility, has me wondering if there are any videos online showing deafblind internet users. I would like to find such videos to share with my development team (all of us are sighted). I did a google search, learned a lot, but didn't find what I was looking for. I would love to find something similar to those that exist showing people using JAWS.

Thank you for any URLs.
