Many web developers can create web sites that comply with accessibility standards, but are still unusable by people with disabilities. This session will address this issue and explain how simple evaluations may be performed to create a better, usable end product for all users, including people with disabilities. This session will also discuss how incorporating testing for accessibility and usability into the project planning process can save time and resources for maintaining and supporting users of the website.

Now is the time to learn about the new ADA facility compliance changes that became effective this year—how to interpret and apply them, and how those new requirements relate to the continuum of accessibility.  That continuum begins with civil rights laws, progresses through the regulations and standards, harmonizes and conflicts with the various building codes, incorporates the concepts of Universal Design for everyone and ends with custom accommodations for specific individuals with disabilities.

2012 marks the 13th biennial International Conference on Computers Helping People with Special Needs (ICCHP). From the inception of the conference, ICCHP has been a vibrant forum for the discussion of serious physical and societal issues related to the quality of life of people with special needs. From educational issues, to mobility problems, to disability rights to issues associated with the aging of our society, and beyond, ICCHP has supplied a venue for open discussion on complex issues, and the exchange of cutting edge scientific breakthroughs to make the life of people with special needs more fulfilling. Starting as a conference concerning people with disabilities, the ICCHP meeting has become a voice for discussion and potential adoption of new science and public policy analysis to a world of increasingly longer lifespans and the difficulties inherent in that phenomenon. Given longer life expectancy and the decline of national birth rates, the community of the disabled is growing at a faster rate than expected. As a result of changes in the demographics in our world, the ICCHP meeting has maintained its position as an important voice in the quality of life for people with disabilities from birth to old age. The meeting annually hosts high-quality, well reviewed submissions from scientists and policy makers from around the world. In addition to the traditional paer sessions, the meeting also includes industry representatives showing their new products and looking for new ideas. Additionally, the conference affords spaces and times for less formal discussions – an important factor supporting the transfer of knowledge so needed in our endeavors.
