Avoid the hidden barriers - presentation download

Body:
By bim

At Techshare 2007 I had the honour of being allowed to speak on one of my hot topics within the field of web accessibility. The presentation, on how to avoid some of the hidden barriers that make web sites difficult for disabled people who don't have the benefit of screen readers was well received, (phew), and I promised to make it available as a download.. .

So for those of you who have been expecting it, and anyone else who's curious, download Avoid the hidden barriers to accessibility (zip file) 495KB.

Please note: Use Internet Explorer to view the presentation. It refers to issues that don't affect other browsers.

Thanks to Sheena for pointing out that I hadn't given enough emphasis to this point. Lastly, many thanks to all of you who attended Techshare 2007, perhaps had no homes to go to, and stayed for my presentation, which was in the last time slot of the last day of the conference.
