Disability and Accessibility Issues in Web Design
Gregg Vanderheiden, University of Wisconsin-Madison
1:00 to 3:00 p.m. CST, Room E102A, SRP at NCSA
Designing more flexible, re-presentable, and re-purposable Web technologies 
is important not just for providing accessibility for people with 
disabilities but also for allowing better access from mobile technologies, 
web tools, and intelligent agent software and systems. Gregg Vanderheiden 
co-chairs the W3C Web content accessibility working group and will share 
with participants insights into what makes Web pages and Web technologies 
more usable or less-usable to a wide range of users including those with 
disabilities, older users, and mobile users. He will also briefly discuss 
the benefits of such techniques for future intelligent web agents and 
technologies.
