Now that the U. S. Government has mandated that web pages comply with accessibility standards (Section 508, a 1998 amendment to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973), it is time to test web pages against the standards. “What do
newcomers to these standards need to know to ensure that
they are on the right tract with accessible, usable web
page design? “What do web page designers need to know
beyond 508 standards? Join us in an exploration of our
personal experiences with “stuckness” when using web
pages (visual accessibility), Reece; learn possible
solutions to our “silent screams” (audio accessibility),
Vinegar; and consider also the question of web page
accessibility to users with cognitive or learning
disabilities (comprehensibility), Gillen.
