Abstract

The article focuses on the online access of Internet for people with disabilities in the U.S. It states that most Internet-related technologies are inaccessible to disabled people because of the Internet access policy which is considered to reject the needs of disabled people. It adds that solving limited compatibility of Web content is the challenge facing online access for visually impaired people, while the lack of interactive Web chats is the problem associated with hearing impaired people.
