Not just blind

Not all disabled users of the Internet are blind or visually impaired - some can't use a mouse. And it's not just disabled - what about small screen displays and text-only browsers these all need to be catered for.

One example - Sydney Olympic Games ticketing organisation was successfully sued for not making their online ticketing process reasonably accessible to the visually impaired - it can be important.

The Mencap site from the UK has some useful information about making websites accessible to people with learning disabilities too - downloadable papers are at:
