Claude Almansi raises the question of accessibility for the blind and the use of Google Apps to support online learning. "The obstacles hindering blind people when they attempt to use Google Apps are very clearly illustrated in the videos of the mentioned demonstration of screen access technology page. As several of these obstacles also arise in other Web 2.0 applications, including WordPress." I'm sympathetic; I'm half-blind myself. On the other hand, you can't wait until eventhing si accessible before releasing technology. Remember, "a public entity violates its obligations under the ADA when it only responds on an ad-hoc basis to individual requests for accommodation." Google should have a program in place - and it does.
