However, I recently came across an interesting case study regarding visually impaired technology end-users and the challenges they face when accessing online resources. Hopefully it can aid any snowballing activity you might undertake. Inan, F. A., Namin, A. S., Pogrund, R. L., & Jones, K. S. (2016).

In the past I have studied web accessibility from the social rights, standards, and design perspective but am now turning to business and economic motivations to further the field. I would like to research the field of web accessibility for people with disabilities and am looking for articles which include theories related to the corporate need to make their websites accessible for people with disabilities. Most of the theories I found are focused on the social rights, independence and personalization for people with disabilities, but I would like to understand the basics of inclusiveness for people with disabilities through technologies for the business sector. The laws are relevant at this time, but legal aside, if I am a business owner what theories might explain motivation to invest in making my websites/apps etc accessible for people with disabilities? What could you please suggest me to look for and which theory articles might help me? Thanks. -- Harel Chait Web Accessibility Expert (International Association of Accessibility Professiona ls "IAAP" Member) PhD Candidate i n Information Systems at Business School, Bar-Ilan University.
