Abstract
In this thesis, I investigate the meaning of web accessibility, the types of disabilities that affect web use and common assistive technologies, the most widely accepted web accessibility standards in the United States and which tools/methods can be used to check for web accessibility. Additionally, I describe the State University of New York (SUNY) system and their attempts at web accessibility. By applying the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool to selected pages in a sample of SUNY schools, I was able to determine that only ten percent of the schools reviewed were fully accessible.
