The W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative The W3C is an international, vendor-neutral group that determines the protocols and standards for the web.

Qualifications - Bookshare - Accessible Books for Individuals with Print Disabilities
An individual with a physically-based disability that makes it difficult or impossible to read a printed book likely will qualify for Bookshare® services. Organizations (schools, libraries, and rehabilitation and social services agencies) can also obtain Bookshare services to support their efforts to meet the reading needs of people with these disabilities. The individual signing up for our services, or the organization serving that individual, will be asked to provide Bookshare with a Proof of Disability (certified by someone who is a Competent Authority as described below) during the registration process. As explained in more detail below, the Qualifications to enroll in and use Bookshare services are based on an exception contained in Section 121 of U.S. This webpage, including the Table that follows and the answers to Frequently Asked Questions, below, provide the guidelines for determining what qualifies as a print disability.
