Shawn Lawton Henry has some good resources on her site
(http://www.uiaccess.com/index.html), in particular the PDF from her chapter
in Constructing Accessible Web Sites
(http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/accessibility/pub/acc_sites_chap01.pdf)
provides some good examples of how accessibility is tied in with usability.
