"Accessibilizing" Drupal

Want to make sure your Drupal site is accessible to everyone? Learn to maximize the accessibility features built into Drupal - and the additional features built into Open Framework and Stanford Sites - and assure those features stay intact when you make changes. See the value of testing keyboard navigation and focus, adding alternative text to images, and assuring that assistive technology presents page content in the order you expect.
