Please check out the Society for Technical Communication's AccessAbility
SIG at http://www.stcsig.org/sn/ . Here's a paragraph that describes their
mission.

The mission of the Society for Technical Communication's AccessAbility SIG
is threefold: (1) provide resources, information, and support to technical
communicators with accessibility needs; (2) provide resources that will
help technical communicators make the products they create accessible to
end users with accessibility needs; (3) provide strategic leadership in
both areas through positive initiatives and open communication, both
inside and outside of the Society.

Hope this helps.
