I have been working a lot in the Accessability space and just number 1, 7, 8 
should be sufficient as well as adding we are constantly striving to make our 
site better. I have found success both with end users and business/stake 
holders to state something like: Accessability is always a process of 
improvement and we are constantly striving to make our site better. 

 

Cheers,

 

Jeff

> 5) PDFs :: What they are good for, how to get a reader, POSSIBLY how

> 6) Multimedia :: Alternatives for audio and video.*
> 7) Screen Readers :: What they are, how to use them, how our site is

> 8) Mobile Devices :: How site is set up to work with them best.
