American Psychological Association has the Committee for Disability Issues in Psychology  and I believe they have pressured the APA to have reasonably accessible webdesign and publications policies.  Kathie

It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, and an even bigger one to keep his mouth shut when he's right. - Jim Fiebig

Subject: Professional Associations with Disability-Accessible Web Design Interest Groups


Hello, all!

In the process of researching some professional associations on the Internet, I noticed that the American Public Health Association has a DisAbility Forum.

I was wondering if there were other professional associations in any discipline that had developed specific discussion groups or SIGs dedicated to disability issues and/or adaptive technology access and web design.

Of course, I'm aware of the American Library Association's ASCLA division and their other sub-divison groups that address these issues. I'm more curious about disciplines in the humanties, sociology, psychology, business, mathematics and other disciplines.

Thank you for your responses!
