Discussion on: Show me some bad web accessibility on major sites.

I went to a presentation the other day and an accessibility advocate demonstrated not just screen readers but a tool called a "Switch" like a one button tool for people with really limited dexterity. Maybe you have seen this before but when I saw in action I was pretty saddened because I just immediately intuitively knew huge numbers of websites would be incompatible with it :E

Sorry, realized not actually an answer to your question/maybe not fit for the presentation, but the demonstration was really powerful about UX and made an impact on me- watching the Switch zoom in on the button that is trying to be submitted. Basically if you rely on anymore than one button to submit a form it messes it up for people. My brain was like pow that is a huge number of websites.

I hadn't thought to add a switch demonstration, this is a great idea. Thanks!
