AOL's Accessibility Guide for Developers
AOL is dedicated to providing accessibility. The Office of Accessibility, under the Direction of Tom Wlodkowski, works to assure that all users can access AOL's website and software, including those users with varying abilities.
There is one main difference about developing for accessibility: You have to imagine the impact your design decisions will make on people who don't interact with technology the same way you do. Think about it: How do people who are blind or who have low vision navigate? How do members who are deaf or hard of hearing get by without the sounds that most people rely upon? And what can you do to make sure people with cognitive or mobility limitations are truly welcome?
Believe it or not, the steps required to support technology used by people with disabilities to access AOL are pretty easy to implement. Common sense design principles - the use of an alt tag in HTML for example - go a long way.
The developer's guide provides the general principles and step-by-step instructions that will enable you to create accessible products, infrastructure, and content.
