There are a multitude of things that can be done to make software accessibl=
e and these differ depending upon the type of software it is and what langu=
age it is written in. From what you say, the software is icon driven, so t=
he first thing I would say to the developer is "Can I use your software wit=
hout using a mouse?", as accessible software should allow you to work with =
the keyboard if you don't or can't use a mouse. It should also be remember=
ed that accessible software means more than a product being just screen rea=
der friendly as disabled people other than blind people also experience pro=
blems with badly designed software.
Cheers=20
Chris.
