The
AIS toolbar for IE has some simulations built in. Not fantastic and foolproof,
but they can give a really rough idea.

IBM
aDesigner can simulate visual impairments (colour deficiency low vision, etc)
quite effectively as well.

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I&#8217;m going to be putting on a
workshop for voluntary organisations on the issues surrounding website
accessibility. I&#8217;m interested to hear about any online resources that might be
available. I&#8217;ve found the RNIB site which allows you to experience navigation
as if you had usability problems. Are there any others available? I&#8217;d be
grateful for any help!!
