Access for All: Using HTML and PDF to Accommodate the Disabled

By Pisocky, Greg; CSUN Technology and Persons With Disabilities Conference - 2004,
Publication Date: 2004

Paper focuses on Internet accessibility for people with disabilities, as government entities, the disabled community, and businesses worldwide are seeking to bridge the gap between the World Wide Web and people with disabilities. Web designers must seek to make accessibility a main design consideration during the development phase. Whether content is presented in HTML, PDF, or some other format, the key to making web-based content accessible is to create it in such a way that it can be properly interpreted by assistive technologies such as screen readers, which are used by people with visual disabilities. Implications for further research are discussed.
