Organised by: Hosted by:WSIS Process UNCTAD Persons with disabilities and the Internet Persons with different kinds of disabilities use a variety of different technologies and Assistive Technologies to access information on the internet. For instance, blind persons use screen readers, persons with low vision use glasses, screen magnifiers or CC TV cameras, persons with motor impairments may use speech recognition programmes, one-handed key boards etc, deaf persons use cochlear implants, persons with cognitive impairments may use software like word prediction software and persons with multiple disabilities may use a combination of all these to successfully use computers. These persons also encounter different kinds of obstacles while trying to access the internet depending upon the nature of their disability and kind of assistive technologies which they use. Assistive Technologies The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), which is a wing of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has come out with a set of guidelines called the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 which set out the criteria for creating web sites which will be accessible to persons having different kinds of disabilities.
