Subject: Re: web design for disabled users
I'm sorry.  I don't market Macromedia Flash despite the way it might have
come out -- Toronto has been fairly successful in using it to give people
with intellectual disabilities a chance to build a communication network for
people with disabilities and their families - the link was posted with my
previous post if you want to check it out.  I also gave examples of how the
technology could be applied for the visually impared (not that it's been
done but I know the software and I know it's possible and not difficult to
do).  I'm not saying that it's easily adapted or that there is even alot of
content out there now, but it is indeed possible if specific disabilities
are considered during the web creation process -- that is my evidence.  I'm
not suggesting that Flash will revitalize the web for people with
disabilities, but for sites focused on providing information to people with
disabilities, it is certainly an option.  I'll post the link a second time
in case you didn't notice it.  Cheers!
