Mine is through serendipity. I did something and found out all about web accessibility by accident. And after several mistakes I learned all about it. Take it from something who was once laughed at because of her non-technical skills and guts to enter the techie world.

I think that accessibility is not only beneficial for those who are impaired in some way but is actually beneficial for us all. I mean, it’s about creating a better world at the end of the day, isn’t it? That’s what excites me – the more we discover how to make the web more accessible, the more we actually move forward in bringing the web into everyone’s life; therefore, creating business opportunities, communication breakthrough’s etc. At the end of the day, the internet is showing us a brand new way of doing everything, making the idea of community important again : and, in my opinion, accessibility helps to create values that are beneficial for us all, and – not to be grand and idealistic about it – contributes towards making a better world.

Why should someone with a disability have any less right to access the content that’s available to me?

For my part I was forced into accessibility rather than stumbled across it rather late into programming web apps.

I learned how to code a site semantically and found it really exciting to turn the styles off and see how I site would break down, etc. Then as I read more books on css and javascript, the whole accessibility thing just seems to make sense. It’s just so easy to do most of the work as part of your initial development, then the fine tuning and problems with specifics of accessibility are just another interesting challenge.this is a very good idea

I am studying “e-Learning” at an Austrian University and web accessiblity has grown to a big issue over here – the first courses regarding this topic started about two years ago and the importance has grown more and more. We even made some practical tests where we could feel the situation of “handicapped” people while browsing and now whenever I start a project I have my own accessibility checklist I’ll follow from the beginning.this is good idea

Keeping people excited about accessibility as a practice or a cause can be a major challenge. In my experience, most people are either inherently interested in the subject and there’s no debate over whether it’s important or they adamantly refuse to care – failing to understand how significant the issue is for people with disabilities…

I got into web accessibility purely because when I started out in web development I discovered A List Apart and from there Joe Clark’s book.

have a background in special education and knew some folks who were looking for someone to do their website and it needed to be accessible.
