Very technical article. Did provide useful information for generating handouts or text for people who have reading or acuity or vision issues. The whole website is a great resource for information related to blind and low vision.

A very in-depth article pertaining to reading, text size, and color issues for those who have reading and vision issues. For someone interested in that field, there is a lot of useful information provided. I could see how this might useful in creating websites and reading materials.

"We cannot afford to let the issue of disabilities be simply an afterthought. We have a unique opportunity now, as industry pours billions of dollars into upgrading the communications infrastructure, to make sure that people with disabilities are not left behind. Now is the time. Accessibility of services and products for all Americans has got to be a design feature, not an add-on."
