It was not so much an issue as rather a preference. They did manage to use the existing navigation quite well, but both mentioned they preferred dropdown menus to assist in the navigation and help them get quicker to the information they were looking for. > (can we have a link to view it?) Sorry, I cannot give you the link at the moment for confidentiality reasons. > How many users with 'hearing disabilities' did you interview, > and what was > the range of deafness - ie hearing impaired to > culturally/signing Deaf? We tested 16 users altogether and two of those users were "Culturally Deaf". None of the other participants had hearing impairments, but as mentioned we had a couple of users with learning or cognitive disabilites that made a similar reference to the dropdown menus. Again, in all cases it was a preference, not a requirement. So more an issue of usability than accessibility, in my opinion. > All the best, > > Lisa Herrod > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andreas Boehmer [Addictive Media] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 4 August 2005 12:55 PM > To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org > Subject: RE: [WSG] New front page for http://abc.net.au/ > > > > Actually we have done some usability testing with a range of > disabled users > recently.
