Here are a few web sites to check out on this issue:

>From computerweekly.com, 10/24/06 the article "How to make your website fit
for all" located at this address:
http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2006/10/24/219269/how-to-make-your-we
bsite-fit-for-all.htm

 

Or from the tsbvi.com site:

The managing editor of mayoclinic.org is a friend of mine, and they are
reworking the user interface.  She is asking me about screen readers, but I
think the bigger issue is overall accessibility, correct?  

I seem to remember some standards on making websites accessible, but can't
remember where I saw them.  Any tips?  And, I guess if they are making
changes, what is the gold standard for screen readers, in your opinions?
Would such adaptive interfaces work with all screen readers or is there not
enough standardization?  

Sorry to appear dumb, but where can we go to get more background? 

Thanks in advance, 

Dennis
