[blindlaw] Blind parties to legal proceedings and inaccessible documents

[James Pepper]

If a government form is not accessible to the blind, can it be challenged in
court?  I was just thinking that this might be a means of forcing
accessibility onto government agencies that are not doing the accessibility
work that they are supposed to do.  That by challenging the most basic
documents used by people would force them to act in making documents and
forms accessible.

Also, it is actually common practice to make content that is different for
the blind than what you would see on the page.  Thsi is to give instructions
to those using a screen reader.  But it is also possible that the meaning of
the conent can change, either deliberately or not and it would only be
noticed by people using a screen reader.
