We develop software that is used largely by state government
agencies, particularly state rehabilitation programs.  We are
interested in making software, intended for a general user
audience, be considerate of and work well for blind and visually
impaired computer users.  Does anyone out there know of any
standards, principles or guidelines that could instruct software
developers in how to write software the meets this objective?  We
would find it very useful and we suspect that other software
developers would like to know as well.  Any information or opinions
on this will be appreciated.
