Web accessibility
On this page are links to some of my Web-accessibility writings – the ones that don’t fit anywhere else. It occurs to me that I now have enough of a bibliography that I need to unite all the links somewhere.
Largely retired from Web accessibility
As of 2008 (and some time before), I have largely retired from Web accessibility. I have not retired from other arenas of the accessibility field.

Basic facts
I am a leading independent authority on Web accessibility. In 2005, I was an invited expert with the World Wide Web Consortium Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group, though that didn’t last very long. I work on the PDF/Universal Access Committee now.
