[Blindtlk] needing insight re: the pitfalls of web design with a screen reader

[Graves, Diane]

Hi Guys,
 
I have just registered for my courses for next term, and one of the
pending classes is a course in web design.  As I am a computer user, and
not a programmer by any means, I am very nervous about this.
 
I'm wondering if some of the more savvy users can tell me what hurdles I
can expect to run into with a screen reader, and whether there are any
of these that are nonnegotiable.
 
Hope this makes sense.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks!
