[nfbcs] Accessibility resources

[Ed Barnes]

Hi Amy.
I don't have any suggestions to add.
I do follow the list but I actually work in IT as a computer support specialist so I do not have a cs background even though I do learn a thing or two of interest from the list even though I mostly lurk.
I'm going to re-post your last reply because it was at the bottom of the thread rather than the top so I'm guessing it may get more responses this way.
Good luck.

Hi All,

Thanks so much for the encouraging comments about my Hack Day. I am planning to provide a list of accessibility resources to distribute at a programming event. Here are the resources I have so far. If anyone with a better understanding than me wants to vet them or tell me if you have any other resources that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Amy
