A site for BALANCE for Blind Adults, an organization which provides rehabilitation programs, employment services, and community access facilitation to blind and vision-impaired adults.
I worked with BALANCE for Blind Adults to design the look of this site, set up the site architecture, and coded the html and css. I collaberated with Alan Cantor, a specialist in accessible website design, Martin Courcelles, a consultant on web page accessibility for screen readers, and with the blind and low vision members of BALANCE for Blind Adults to make sure the site exceeded accessibility standards.
“I must say I am very impressed. It is easy to navigate and packed full of useful information. I don’t believe a more useful web resource for persons who are blind or vision impaired exists in Canada where general knowledge and adaptive techniques come together in such an easy to understand format.”

“Jaws users with virtually no computer experience only have to do as follows:
- Press h for headings
- Press l for list items
- Press enter to pick one
- Press h til you hear the title you chose
- Press p (paragraph) to read the text.
That’s it for finding anything on the site once there’s been a quick lesson in navigating. And there’s an equivalent for WkndowEyes, BrailleNote, and even the latest version of Talx running on cell phones.”
