Many tools have been made to help people with disabilities access the internet and use computers as effectively as non-disabled people. People with vision disabilities might use a program that reads the page aloud, braille displays, and use the keyboard to select things instead of a mouse. People with low to no hand abilities, such as amputees or cerebral palsy suffers, use voice recognition software. This enables them to speak commands on what they would like typed or clicked on.
Laws have been put in place to make things accessible to people with disabilities. Everything must be readable by program designed for aiding these people. To not comply would be discriminatory. There are also instructional tools to help make a webpage that complies with with the set guidelines that help make accessible webpages. Wether as simple as making the screen larger and easier to read, or as complex as screen reader software for the totally blind, Tools are available for the needs of the disabled.
