[Athen] videos of users with disabilities surfing web or using computer

[Shelley Haven]

Hi Howard, and welcome to 2010!

I've used clips from the following in various presentations on UDL and  
Web accessibility:

I like the "Personal Perspective" videos on WebAIM where users with  
various disabilities explain the problems they encounter accessing the  
Web:
Kyle - visual
http://www.webaim.org/media/video/kyle/kyle.asx
Curtis - hearing
http://www.webaim.org/media/video/curtis/curtis.asx
Gordon - motor
http://www.webaim.org/media/video/gordon/gordon.asx

Also, consider the excellent video "Surfing the Web with a  
Screenreader" (AccessIT) where blind user Debbie demonstrates specific  
Web obstacles and how to get past them:

There are some good user perspectives on Headstrong Nation's  
documentary on LD and ADHD issues:

Lastly, CSU Fresno put out an award-winning 27-minute video years ago  
titled "Know Your Users" where individuals with different disabilities  
discuss how they use the Web and demonstrate problems they encounter;  
however, I can't find it online anywhere.

Best of luck with the class!
