Software/Website Accessibility
I recently gave a presentation as part of my major project in CISC497 (Social, Ethical and Legal issues in Computing) on the topic of making software accessible to people with disabilities and since have had some requests for the materials I prepared. For those who are interested, I’ve uploaded
a PDF version of my Keynote presentation and the final project report. If you know of any other good resources, feel free to add them in the comments to help others who are trying to learn and who may stumble onto this page when searching.
