Hey -- I'm glad you got some good answers, and good luck to your roommate!

Just to let you know for future reference, dw_accessibility is primarily for discussing efforts for making Dreamwidth more accessible to assistive technology and people with disabilities, not for a general discussion of accessibility (elsewhere online or off-line) or disability. Most of us around these parts are used to thinking about access needs and how they apply elsewhere online or off-line, but if we didn't keep the focus pretty close, those discussions would wind up drowning out Dreamwidth-specific stuff.

Fortunately there are a lot of other communities that cover accessibility and access needs in the wider world! disability is probably the most broad in terms of what it covers, although others may have some other suggestions.
