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.

Disability is part of the natural diversity of human life. It touches all of us, whether through our own individual experience or that of a family member, neighbor, friend or colleague. As such, we all have a role in—and benefit to gain from—advancing equality for people with disabilities in all sectors of society, including the workplace.
