ALA 265: listen!
August 12, 2008
In Issue No. 256 of A List Apart, for people who make websites: The web is a conversation, but not always a productive one.

Plus: Because of limited awareness around Deafness and accessibility in the web community, it seems plausible to many of us that good captioning will fix it all. It won’t. In “Deafness and the User Experience,” Lisa Herrod explains how to enhance the user experience for all deaf people.
