Abstract
In this chapter, we will look at a range of different types of disability and examples of some of the assistive technology (AT) that is used by people with disabilities. This chapter will help you to gain a greater understanding of what it means to have a disability and how having a disability changes the way web content is consumed by a user of AT.
