Access to content and services online is increasingly important for everyone,\nincluding people with disabilities. National commitments, including the\nAmericans with Disabilities Act, and international resolutions, including the\nUnited Nations Declaration of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, call for\nwork to ensure that people with disabilities can participate fully in the\nonline world. Gains in education, employment and health, as well as in civic\nengagement, social participation, and personal independence will follow from\nenhanced inclusion online. Research in many areas of computer science,\nincluding recognition technology, natural language processing, personalization,\nsoftware architecture, and others, is needed to secure these benefits.\nOrganizing this research calls for partnerships among academic researchers,\nfederal agencies, and commercial organizations, as well as effective division\nof labor and cooperation between computer scientists, behavioral scientists,\nadvocacy groups, and consumers.\n
