I came across that document
after I posted my question here. My initial read-through of that document,
I thought it was useful. That is the kind of information I would like to
see more of so that we can speak business language. I think the concept of
Web accessibility is marketable if we frame it effectively. I think saying
"do it because it is the law or else I'll sue" would put business on the
defensive, rather than having them buy into it. But, that is just my
opinion. I am also wondering if there is a more descriptive phrase
than "Web accessibility". When I say that I find eyes tend to glaze
over. I am not sure if its because of my cerebral palsy speech or because
they don't understand the concept. Have a good day.

Hello
Glenda,
There is a mention of how corporate social
responsibility can be used to strengthen the business case
for Web accessibility.
