Abstract:

Disabled people are large minority groups, starved of services and mostly ignored by society, live in isolation, segregation, poverty and charity. People with disabilities face a number of challenges in their day-to-day lives with regards to access to education, health services, employment opportunities, etc. On the other hand, more information and services are available on the web that offer exceptional opportunities for all users, it is essential that no culture or segment of society can be left out. Therefore, people with disabilities are perhaps the single segment of society with the most to gain from these technologies but they are facing barrier to access the contents of web due to the way it is presented.

This research will outline the foundation for building accessibility aware framework approach where people with special needs can access all electronic contents based on their disability levels. The approach provides guidelines for web composers and developers in developing accessible web pages for all types of users. Disability Profile examples (Blindness and Deaf) were adopted to demonstrate the execution of the framework approach and presented an implementation architecture.
