ET,
I can speak as both a blind person and someone that has senior management
people saying it's not an issue when advised of accessibility issues.
I work for an organisation that calls itself an EEO that stands for Equal
Opotunity employer,
I work in the area of IT Support and desktop administration.
We have in the passed 18 months had a new managed windows desktop
environment installed this was mentioned on this list a month or so back.
It's a citrix based xen system which does not allow for screan reader
access for those of us with sight issues.
Yet I'm expected to support this system without adaptive accessibility and
my director says well we're not bothering to do anything about it as it's
only an issue for 1 person.
Other systems that are still being implemented are flash based and proving
to be issues and again I get well we're not changing things and the best
one, we'll find something else for you to do...
Just a couple of vews to think of.
Not everyone is willing to pull their head out of their A hole.

No offense on the "excess ability wording so to play on it a bit...
If this upper management is supposed to deal with accessibility, then is
it not obvious they do not know the nuts and bolts thus they need to hear
from those these efforts is supposedly aimed at?
