23. How can persons with disabilities get involved in the implementation of the Web Accessibility Directive?
Persons with disabilities can get involved in the implementation of the Directive at national level. The European Disability Forum developed a Web Accessibility Directive toolkit [PDF document] with practical advice for organisations who want to influence how the Directive is implemented in their country.
24. Is there guidance on involving users with disabilities in design and development?
Involving users early on in project development is really important to understand real-world accessibility issues, such as how people with disabilities and older people use the web with adaptive strategies and assistive technologies.
The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) developed resources showing how to involve users with disabilities in design and development, including advice on involving users in web projects and resources to help evaluate web accessibility.
