Introduction
WAI-AGE Project ended as of 30 September 2010. This page lists resources developed through the WAI-AGE Project. Up-to-date resources on web accessibility for older people are available at WAI-AGE Staff, with feedback and contribution from developers, researchers, experts, user organizations, and individuals interested in web accessibility for older people. In particular, a dedicated W3C/WAI Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG), and served as an expert group throughout the course of the project.
WAI-AGE Literature Review
The initial phase of the WAI-AGE Project included a comprehensive literature review of over one hundred and fifty studies relating to web accessibility requirements of people with needs due to ageing, and an accompanying analysis that compares differences and similarities between technical and outreach needs of people with accessibility needs due to ageing, and technical and outreach needs of people with disabilities with regard to web accessibility. This literature review and analysis informed subsequent work of the WAI-AGE Project, including the revision of existing and development of new W3C/WAI educational resources that are described in later sections on this page.
