Some of my chapters of the book expand on the content of the Web Accessibility tutorial that you will find here, including much more detail on techniques for web accessibility and on the way assistive technology responds to web content both with and without accessible coding techniques.

Sample content

My chapter on Accessibility Testing is available here as was the corresponding chapter for the first book. Chapter 6, Creating Accessible Content, is available in PDF format from Friends of Ed. Shawn Laughton Henry has included her Understanding Web Accessibility, Chapter 1 on her site.
