Summary
Introduction
Web developers often have difficulty understanding the problems users with visual impairments when accessing web pages that are not designed for their needs. This simulation provides the opportunity for users to test a Web page created to simulate visual impairment. Although this exercise does not simulate the visual impairment itself, it can be used to help understand what impact a visual impairment can have on access to Web content and what to do to better the design.

Instructions
This simulation requires the Shockwave plug-in . Although Shockwave is not generally considered very accessible, WebAIM has added keyboard shortcuts to make the greatest possible number of users can use the simulation.
