Please check out the Society for Technical Communication's AccessAbility SIG at http://www.stcsig.org/sn/ . Here's a paragraph that describes their mission. The mission of the Society for Technical Communication's AccessAbility SIG is threefold: (1) provide resources, information, and support to technical communicators with accessibility needs; (2) provide resources that will help technical communicators make the products they create accessible to end users with accessibility needs; (3) provide strategic leadership in both areas through positive initiatives and open communication, both inside and outside of the Society. Hope this helps. kk -- --------------------------------------------------------- Karla Saari Kitalong, PhD U. of Central Florida kitalong@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu karla@kitalong.net Voice 407-823-6257 Fax 775-665-7949 ------------------------------------------------------- I've seen how you can't learn anything when you're trying to look like the smartest person in the room. -- Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible ---------------------------------------------------------
I think the following website might be a very good opportunity to look up information on ICT&disability: http://www.icchp.org/ You can find some history of ICCHP here: http://icchp.ocg.at/ In case you would like to get into contact with the Austrian co-founders, just let me know.
