Additional information
<20>Significantly increases understanding of the problems that people with disabilities face. It presents an empirical study, with 32 blind users accessing 16 websites, yielding1383 problem instances. ( Only evaluation on this scale was the Disability Rights Commission study conducted in 2004.) This paper analyses the user problems with respect to current international accessibility guidelines, and demonstrates those guidelines cover less than half of problems blind users encounter on websites. 716 downloads from ACM Digital Library indicate potentially large influence.
