Re: Remote usability testing with disabled people

another item that must be considered is the braod spectrum of people, 
disabilities, platforms and adaptive equipment being used. also the level 
of skill that various users have.
on this list we have many who could probably plow their way thru just 
about any old hack but will the new user. or person using odd software 
that may be generations old be able to use the sites.
hard to know with remote or any kind of testing that is not controlled.

X number with this disability
Y using this software
etc etc etc.
