Accessibility in SharePoint

Conformance statement A/AA-level for SharePoint Server 2013

Accessibility issues.  I found a great tool to aid your visually impaired employees.  From http://www.webbie.org.uk/

WebbIE is a web browser for blind and visually-impaired people, especially those using screen readers, used since 2001 all over the world. It comes with the Accessible programs, letting you access news and audio on the Internet in a simple and accessible way, allowing you to use podcasts, listen to the radio and read RSS and news with your screen reader or other access solution. Together they provide a way to access websites and other great things online - and they are all free!

Using the IE Appearance Editor you can change the default SharePoint site into a more visually accessible page.  NOTE:  Special consideration will be needed for the ribbon since at first glance zoom and font size effect the ribbon’s effectiveness.
