There are at least three organized bodies concerned with computers and
the handicapped:
1) ACM SIGCAPH
2) an IEEE Computer Soc Tech Committee
3) IFIP WG6.5 (International Message Systems) subgroup on
message systems and the communication impaired.
Questions:
Is there a newsgroup where issues relating to this subject area
belong? If not, is there much interest in starting one?
'Handicaps' includes blindness, deafness, speech impediments, mobility
handicaps, and mental handicaps; not an exhaustive list.
(As a near-deaf person, my own interests are mainly handicaps
interfering with communications.)
Please reply by MAIL if interested.
