<title>Introduction</title>
- <para>There are approximately 500 million people worldwide with some kind of
visual, hearing, or mobility impairment. Currently there are over 54 million people with
disabilities in the United States alone and that number is significantly increasing as the
baby boomer generation continues to age. People with disabilities often find it extremely
difficult to effectively use existing and emerging technologies which are often designed
without regard to their needs. Websites with inaccessible content can also be problematic
for screen readers and other specialized devices used by the disabled
community.</para>
- <para>Accessible features have been voluntarily integrated into operating systems,
web interfaces, and other technologies because of marketing potential or because it has
been "the right thing to do." Equal access to educational, professional, and
recreational technologies is rapidly becoming a legal requirement. Federal agencies in
numerous countries are formulating accessibility standards. Federal requirements in the
United States went into effect in June 2001.</para>
- <para>Specialized hardware devices, applications, and utilities are available
which considerably increase the usability of Linux for individuals with special
needs.</para>
