Oh boy. Well, you did you ask for this. Don't get me wrong, I love your magazine. Your web page is awful. It is totally inaccessible to someone using a screen reader or text-only web browser (like Lynx). You don't even have alt-text. Frames are a navigation nightmare for everyone, and you have FOUR on your home page (all without titles). It is bad enough when people outside the field of AT have inaccessible sites. It is pathetic when people who should know better produce work like this. Your web team has failed you. They have a lot of work and learning ahead of them. Start with the url: http://www.trace.wisc.edu/world/web/ Sorry to be so harse, but I am being honest. It would be hard to overstate how depressing those of us who advocate for universal design find it when we are betrayed by one of our own. I wish you had asked a few people privately to review your site before posting to a list serve.

I'm very happy to be able to tell you that we have completed the redesign to our web site. We are, of course, regularly adding new material and updating the content of different pages. But the new look is there and I hope you'll all stop by. And don't be shy about telling me what you think! http://www.teamrehab.com Hope to see you all in Minneapolis!
