No. 5: Existing aid on web accessibility for disabled pupils. POST

The European Union believes that disabled citizens have to face multiple barriers to accessing social life, and constitute one of the categories most deprived. Their strategies are based on social participation of disabled citizens is difficult, to a greater extent by environmental barriers that functional limitations. In the EU ., The number of people affected by some form of disability revolves around 10% of its population, ie about 37 million people.

We live in a democratic, pluralistic and multidimensional, in the knowledge era. This is a reality we can not deny and do not leave us indifferent.

That attention to diversity is a right is another undeniable reality like the fact that any disabled must have the same access to information.

This attention to diversity can not stay in a declaration of intent, therefore, the Information Technology and Communication Technology (ICT) should not become an element of marginalization and discrimination in education, employment and social.

From this perspective, the authors believe that ICTs are an important, sometimes vital, integral development and employment of people with disabilities.

From the standpoint of educational and social, we must strive to achieve accessibility the network of people with disabilities, with its limitations.

But what do we mean by Web accessibility for people with disabilities?.

We understand the possibility for all Internet users have normal or disabled access to all content and applications on the network offered us in the XXI century. Precisely

European Union promotes " accessibility", in aspects of accessibility are central in the field of Society of Information . initiatives as Directive 98/10/EC of April 1, 1998 which calls on Member States to adopt measures of access to public telephone services, Directive 99/5/EC of 7 April 1999 that warns construction radio equipment compatible with the dysfunctions of users, or orders of the EC to standardization bodies to define the specific needs of elderly and disabled, seek to achieve tight integration of these groups in society of Information. In fact, the V Framework Programme for research, effective today, is developing projects on interface design person / system used to support voice and man-machine interfaces.

The existence of opportunities but also risks and challenges, leading to the European Disability Forum to cast the "European Declaration on Society of Information and persons with disabilities (DOC EDF 99 / 3). The proclamation said that new technologies can offer value added services to achieve total integration. However, he cautions, precautions because they may result difficult barriers. Information has become a social requirement, and a human right, and no citizen can remain the margin. Thus, the manifest is emphatic when he says that are the aspects of social life of people with disabilities and non-medical technicians or those who should guide the design of programs. Therefore, be understood by the Information Society to human interactions, not the machine. In this regard, calls it one of the first tasks to undertake is to counterbalance the image of passive recipients of persons with disabilities who rely on the goodwill of other citizens. Like all human beings who suffer from disabilities, have special needs and discriminatory considered a homogenous group.

Consequently, there are a design guidelines that make the environment of network access for people with disabilities as something to be handicapped accessible.

What are the guidelines for Web accessibility?.

have been many initiatives to achieve the goal. This will expose the most important, which are contained in Unit No. V, Master Care Diversity. UNED.09 / 10:

• WAI: Initiatives for the WED ACCESS.
• BEEN @ R: Seminar on Disability Initiatives and accessibility Network (Spain).
• VALIDOR: A program that analyzes web pages we are indicating and checks compliance with the proposed recommendations for improving access or access to the network not only disabled people but "all Internet users."
• WEB ANALYZER BOBBY: Analyze the possible accessibility of the pages and their compatibility with existing browsers in the market, as well as HTML, it is the most used.
• ADAPTED SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE: We allow for improvement and innovation of network access for people with disabilities, with the most advanced technological field.
• eEurope: Indicates the priority of the participation of people with disabilities to the network. In this scenario, we emerged the concept of "Full Participation" with force. New technologies can help improve integration and independence of citizens. Encompassing several areas: individual, social, or political service sector.
• DECALOGUE ACCESSIBILITY: The quick guide has been created to create accessible websites.

All this development policy and impetus for the development of ICTs, and web accessibility, has resulted in studies and a listing of Principles for the design of WEBS:

• Equality : everyone has to have the same right of access to the defamation, is the previously mentioned " total participation."
• Flexibility in use: design capacity of the sites must accommodate a wide range of individual abilities and preferences, taking into account individual.
• Use simple and intuitive: when you start the design of websites should clearly predominate, so it is easy to understand regardless of the user experience.
• Perceptible Information: information should be accessible to anyone, even if you have a physical, visual, auditory, etc.
• least physical effort: the development of network access or web sites, you have to minimize fatigue in its use.
• Size and Space for Approach and Use: the size must be appropriate to use standardized approaches to the disabled.

conclusion, we find a web accessibility and gaps, we have to take into account including, economic difficulties, digital divide and cultural level of families , along with predominant language limitations.
