Understanding Web Accessibility from the User's Perspective.

- Abstract
The Internet has opened doors for many people with disabilities. It brings the world to them in ways that were never before possible, from reading newspapers and magazines, to viewing artwork in a museum thousands of miles away, or joining a social network support group. Others have found empowerment by being able to express themselves through a blog or by sharing their artwork. The Internet has become a central component to leisure and life for people with disabilities, much like it is for most people. All the benefits of the Internet, however, cannot happen if the Web environment is not accessible. This article provides a user's perspective on accessibility on the web.
