There are resources available to help you when developing a site
for the disabled. I am working with a disabled group now, and
was surprised at what is available and what is necessary . The
best place to start is Bobby - http://www.cast.org/bobby/ While
we all thing Bobby is to check browser compatibility it is really
designed for people with disabilities.
