>  I'm in the process of submitting a master's level grant application to examine 
why more websites, specifically Canadian, are not made accessible for the 
visually impaired. 
>   
>  While I believe the perceived cost and effort to make websites accessible is a 
significant reason, I was hoping to find research into other factors.  If anyone 
knows of any research in this area - or in ascertaining the degree of 
inaccessibility - I would greatly appreciate any tips, links or advice.
