Season's Greetings to the WAI list. I've put together a presentation for web folks here at Stanford to let them know of the resources available for ensuring accessibility. However, I wanted to quote some numbers to make the issue more real. I have tried to find some data on the web about visual impairment in the population and have been unsuccessful. Anyone know of a source, or have the data themselves? I'm looking for things like: % of internet users with visual impairment % of population (US) with visual impairment (those requiring aids more significant than glasses) % of world population with v.i. etc. Also, I thought I heard Greg Vanderheiden quote some future statistics about the aging population and that larger percentages will be apparent as the baby boomer ages - any ideas about that? Thanks for any assistance. -chris Christine A. Quinn, WWW Developer Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94306 (650)723-9645 (voice) (650)725-9121 (fax)
