HCI and users with disabilities

Abstract

If you think of interfaces you have designed or built, how well do users who are blind get on with accessing them? What about people who cannot use keyboards, because of a manual impairment? If you have never asked these questions, perhaps you should. If for no other reason, legislation now exists which requires that suppliers of computer equipment must be able to demonstrate that it can be used by people with disabilities. The purpose of this SIG will be to bring together people asking those sorts of questions with those who have been trying to answer them.
