Hi. To be fair I'm not an expert myself (sorry if I made an impression like I am). I am, as you are, interested in the subject. I guess next article can list all types of disabilities in more details, for example like here download.microsoft.com/download/0/...
Having a list of disabilities we can derive list of features required by users, like better contrast, bigger fonts, alts on images etc.
Also we can derive a list assistive technologies that people use, like screen readers, magnifiers, etc. We can use those technologies to do tests, like we use different browsers for cross-browser testing.
If you are looking for quick wins, I guess, this is a good start a11yproject.com/checklist/

Very much appreciated. I think I might have to do some research on different technologies used like screen readers and write how we can develop better using knowledge of those technologies.
