Accessibility and Attention To It

On the heels of my selection as a delegate to the technology track of  
this year's National Council on Disabilities conference in Washington,  
I'm noticing more attention being turned to accessibility. In last  
week's Sunday New York Times, A good portion of advertising space in  
its Business section was devoted to Disability Hiring. Attention to  
accessibility (or 'usability engineering for the disabled', as it  
were) may be growing. Again, I'm asking all those who have concerns,  
issues, questions, thoughts on the topic to please share them with me  
as I'd really like to serve as a liaison between the HCI community and  
the ADA movers and shakers of legislation.

I also learned today that while in Washington, I may be given some  
time with at least one of our legislators - Congressman Henry Waxman  
(who also headed up one of the key healthcare reform committees). So -  
thoughts, etc., pass them on to me and thank you to those who  
previously emailed me stuff.

Best,
Lisa Rose
