Abstract :
Sustainability computing is crucial in the present day scenario for sustainable and inclusive development. Two significant areas of this field are UID and accessibility. In this paper, web accessibility is explored for CwSNs (Children with Special Needs) and with respect to technologies for students with mild learning disability. Web accessibility guidelines are presented. Three example accessible websites are compared with respect to their accessibility support. A couple of special education learning s/w tools Sebran and GCompris which are peculiar to CwSNs are compared too.
