> Hello all...
>
> My team is about to embark on a process of refining an existing web
> services application to make it conform to USA accessibility standards,
> as outlined in Tier 1 of the 508 guidelines.
>
> If anyone has any war stories (success or failure) related to this sort
> of effort, white papers or case studies that are publicly accessible, or
> any words of wisdom as we head down this path, I would be forever
> grateful to this community!
>
> In addition, I am planning to set up a fairly robust testing environment
> where we might test the results according to various accessibility
> challenges, such as viewing the screens with high contrast settings, and
> viewing using a screen reader application.  Can any of you suggest
> screen readers that are in common use for people with disabilities? Any
> suggestions on test scenarios that would be useful for us to validate
> our work as we drive towards compliance?
>
> Thanks in advance for you thoughts and suggestions.
