Thanks Jon Just for information EZ Access techniques are for BUILT IN (or direct) access AIIP is for allowing connection of (compatibility with) assistive technologies. It does not make the product itself accessible - but makes it possible for people to use their assistive technologies (if they have an alternate interface assistive technology -- which supports AIIP) So they complement each other but are not equivalent. Gregg PS. AIIP and URCC are equivalent and we have dropped our separate work on URCC and pooled out efforts with NCIT to form the AIIP work. PPS. AIIP is not only not done - it hasn't even really begun yet. Lots of good ideas and work - but the study group is just now filling out its application to form a Working Group. But it is moving and good input would be great to have -- so go to the site www.uniac.com and join in the discussion. -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Human Factors Dept of Ind.

The bullet for the technique would be: If you only support one input device (i.e. Kiosk or portable device) provide an accessible alternative interface. Two implmentations of an accessible alternative interface would be the use of the Easy Access and/or AIIP techniques.
