The Boston-IA web site attempts to be as accessible as possible. Accessibility features include:

"As a totally blind person who uses a screen reader (JAWS for Windows), I was particularly interested in the access keys on this site.
"I think you have done an excellent job of making your site accessible, and I hope other web designers will learn from your example."
