People with visual impairments can use screen readers and literally have their computers read the Web aloud to them. They simply have their computer show Web pages in a larger type size. Or they can use braille-friendly computers. People who don't have great manual dexterity can have alternate keyboards with bigger keys.

Many Web sites also offer "text only" alternative sites for people who would have difficulty using a high-graphics site. There is even a text-only browser, Lynx, which is actually quicker because it doesn't have to wait for the graphics to load!
