From: INTERNET WORLD NEWS Friday, February 9, 2001 Vol. 3, Issue 27 http://www.internetworld.com *What's Your POV? What Should Sites Do for People with Disabilities? In Internet World magazine's Feb. 1 Policy Watch column, Doug Isenberg writes about new federal laws that require government agencies to redesign their Web sites to accommodate people with disabilities. Though no one has argued that the Americans with Disabilities Act should apply to all Web sites, Isenberg thinks most sites could benefit from such changes, which might indirectly help users who log on with slow connections or while on the road. What do you think of Isenberg's opinions regarding this legislation and his advice for Web sites? Has your site taken steps to accommodate people with disabilities? To read this column, go to http://www.internetworld.com/POV/, and then let us know what you think. (Responses will be considered for publication in our newsletter and magazine and may be edited for length and clarity.) Use the subject "Disabilities" and write to mailto:letters@iw.com.
