Websites and Accessability

Posted: Sun, 3 April 2011 | permalink | No comments

Is there something a little odd about the Deaf Society of NSW having a website with a frontpage, and other rather crucial bits like course information lookup forms, that are built entirely using flash. Given that, as far as I know, screen reading software and flash aren't best of friends?

I guess they figure that as long as people are catering to their disability, everyone else can fend for themselves. A slightly more charitable interpretation might be that blind people aren't going to be real keen to learn sign language, but I would have thought that a bit of consideration might be shown, for the purposes of solidarity or something.
