Accessibility - An Interview with Dr. Sofia Celic

Gerry Gaffney spoke to Dr. Sofia Celic of Vision Australia (www.visionaustralia.org.au) about issues faced by the visually impaired and others.

Sofia says that a knowledge of accessibility should be "in any serious developer's toolkit".

Two screen readers were mentioned - Jaws (www.freedomscientific.com/fs_products/software_jaws.asp) and Window-Eyes (www.gwmicro.com).

OzWAI (www.ozewai.org) is the Australian Web Adaptability Initiative.

Sofia mentions the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) (www.hreoc.gov.au).

Microsoft has case studies and videos online (www.microsoft.com/enable/casestudy/default.aspx).

Sofia is also involved in the ongoing development of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT).
