On this website, one can find a 2001 pdf document, with design guidelines for websites based on usability studies with people using assistive technology. The author qualifies (post 2001) that progress with assistive technology for blind readers has been slow, and "that some of the specific technical comments in this report may not apply to recent versions of the products discussed".

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.
