Accessibility Checklist
- Learn about accessibility guidelines (see list of sites in Table 2).
- Learn about ADA and Section 508 regulations (http://www.fose.com/index.html).
- Make sure that all user functions are mapped to the keyboard.
- Each time you introduce a user-accessible feature, ask yourself questions such as,
"Could a blind person use this?" or "Could my grandmother use this?"
- Follow established user-interface conventions.
- Be consistent about how functions are performed (Tab key and Control-Tab).
- Use standard methods for processing I/O so that access tools will interact with
your code correctly.
