Basic Access Limited Computer or Network Access Information available only on the Web is unavailable to people who do not have Web access. For example, many students do not have computers at home and commute to campus. The only opportunities they have to view class materials on the Web are when they can get to one of the campus computer labs, which are often heavily used during the day. It is UW policy to provide reasonable accomodation for persons with disabilities. Visual Disabilities Visually impaired persons can navigate the Web by using a voice browser which reads the page out-loud or a browser that enlarges the page.
Documents relying on imagemaps, tables, or graphics can be uninterpretable for such persons.
Also, some types of visual impairments make it difficult for a person to sort out strong patterns or to interpret low contrast graphics. Some persons have limited motor control of their bodies, making it very difficult for them to do fine control of the position of a mouse or to do combined actions such as exactly positioning the pointer on a screen and simultaneously clicking the mouse.
