Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for the Intro and the info...
To Suzanne and EVERYONE,
I am also trying to develop standards and procedures for web developers, to
meet or exceed the Section 508 requirements for accessibility.
One of the things I am doing is breaking out the 508 requirements by each
impairment or disability, in order to allow those with identifiable disabled
communities to prioritize the accessibility work.
Is this something that you did as well, or did you work with the set of
accessibility requirements as a whole?
Any info or lists of standards beyond the Access Board's and the W3C's would
be MOST welcome. The task of identifying coding standards with so many
variables (different disabilities, browsers, OSs, assistive technology
tools) seems daunting, at best.
Thanks!
Lisa
