Web Accessibility for People with Disabilities

Chapter 13: Disability Resources

There is no way that I could have completed this book without the aid of the hundreds of contacts and associates I have developed over the years. Almost all maintain their own Web sites (who doesn t?). The sites listed in this chapter are strictly those that support the disabilities/accessibility field. Please note that this list doesn t begin to touch all of the existing organizations, nationally or internationally. Time and space would not allow me to list all available disability sites that s a book in and of itself. If you re interested in a particular kind of site, please refer to the WebABLE! disabilities database at http://www.webable.com for an exhaustive listing of disability sites. For additional information about WebABLE!, please refer to Appendix A.

As noted in the last chapter, many of the following Web site descriptions were supplied by the individual or organization running the site. I ve sorted entries out according to my own definition of where each fits, but in some cases, entries could appear in several categories. Additionally, some sites include descriptions, while others just include the title page and address. No special magic here I just randomly decided to describe some sites for variety. The first site in the list is always described.

Disability Organizations

Tens of thousands of organizations working in behalf of people with disabilities exist worldwide. As the Web becomes the tour-de-force that drives interaction, collaboration, communication, and information dissemination, disability organizations find it increasingly advantageous to establish a Web presence.
