Dear All -

I keep wondering what guidelines benefit various disabities. Is there
something there for the dyslexic? For the color blind? Some sites
may be taccessible for the blind, but not for those with limited visual
fields. In these ,discussionscan I take accessible to mean fully
accessible? What disabilities are served? It is mushy.

Regards, George

Ideally, all people of all abilities are served well. You might enjoy reading about "universal design" or browsing through the articles on webaim.org

There was a thread a few weeks ago about color contrast for colorblind users.

It's hard for me to address your question without more specific direction.

Thank you Gabriel. My question has to do with the guidelines:

Is there something there for the dyslexic?

It helps to know what the guidelines say about how each disability should be treated. Then a report of difficulty can be helpful, not just critical.
