Abstract
Learn about web accessibility standards, techniques, and software to assess accessibility of web pages. We begin by identifying common categories of disabilities and potential barriers the Web presents for each category. We then briefly review the Web accessibility standards (WCAG 2.0 and WAI-ARIA). Presentation will provide an overview of Web accessibility checking software and techniques. Demonstration will include a poorly designed web page and how web accessibility was improved.
