I don't know that there are any issues which exclusively affect people with disabilities, but the ones that are likely to be most pressing are being able to keep up with the chat especially if there are a number of people there at once, and the obvious question of the software being accessible - if it works in HTMl it is probably as good as you will get without using IRC, which means people need to install a piece of software (admittedly it is wideley available and easy to install). This question has arisen here before - it might be worth hunting through the archives a bit - from memory it was earlier this year. cheers Charles McCN On Sun, 30 May 1999, Woska, Thomas and Marlene wrote: I would like to add real time chat to a web site dealing with disabilities. What are the issues I need to be aware of, as far as accessibility is concerned, while searching the various options? Does anyone have recommendations of chat software that they have used and feel comfortable with.
