Deaf-Blindness Discussion Group

The objective of the Deaf-Blindness Discussion Group (DBDG) is to identify the needs and preferred access features of people with both vision and hearing problems, including those with no usable sight or hearing. This group will work in conjunction with the Access Features MasterList group to determine necessary features to transform web content into a format that is usable without vision and hearing.

One deliverable from this group will be a list of user needs, required features, and technologies for people with deaf-blindness. This group will communicate with software exploration, research, and development projects to experiment with new technologies and methods. The group's discussion and research will consider the success and feature requirements of refreshable braille displays and other existing technologies, as well as new innovations to bring access to people with deaf-blindness who may not read braille well, or who may not have a braille display at the computer they will be using.
