- Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0
2011-09-28
Accessibility of web content requires semantic information about widgets, structures, and behaviors, in order to allow assistive technologies to convey appropriate information to persons with disabilities. This specification provides an ontology of roles, states, and properties that define accessible user interface elements and can be used to improve the accessibility and interoperability of web content and applications. These semantics are designed to allow an author to properly convey user interface behaviors and structural information to assistive technologies in document-level markup. This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the WAI-ARIA Overview.

john@ccatc.org
Curb Cuts is a local TV show produced and hosted by John Lee and Paul Mortola of the Central
Coast Assistive Technology Center (CCATC). Curb Cuts debuted on SLO Public Access Channel 2 in
June 2006. The goal of the show is to increase the public's awareness and understanding of
assistive technology (AT) and its power to enhance the functioning and quality of life for
people with disabilities. Each episode of the show focuses on a different type of assistive
technology and features personal experiences of local individuals. Examples of show topics
include hands-free computer alternatives, blind/low vision technology, augmentative
communication devices, assistive listening devices for hard of hearing, and wheelchair/mobility
aids. By featuring the personal experience of local users of assistive technology on TV, Curb
Cuts aims to give people with disabilities a greater voice in the media.

- Accessibility at Google
2009-12-31
Information access is at the core of Google's mission -- to make the world's information universally accessible and useful. That's why in addition to crawling, indexing and ranking billions of websites, images, videos and other content, we also work to make that content available in all languages and in accessible formats.
We want to make information available to everyone, and that includes people with disabilities, such as blindness, visual impairment, color deficiency, deafness, hearing loss and limited dexterity. We've found that providing alternative access modes like keyboard shortcuts, captions, high-contrast views and text-to-speech technology helps everyone, not just people with disabilities. For example, keyboard shortcuts help power users get things done more quickly without using a mouse, speech-to-text technology enables people to skim and search audio content, and custom product themes give people more opportunities to personalize.
