We'll also cover strategies and techniques for notification of status changes, updates etc to assistive technologies. Necessarily, though, we will cover cases where the design solution is part of the accessibility and usability enhancement for people with disabilities. Yes, please do come to the full day workshop at the Summit :) Hi Andrew — I think you’ll find that the workshop at the Web App Summit is designed to also include a decent amount of content about Ajax as a design solution (and using it responsibly, identifying areas for its use etc).

I think you guys actually ignored some of the profoundly difficult issues around Ajax and accessibility (like: how do you tell a screenreader that some part of the page has just updated in response to a user's action?). I suppose I'd have to pay for Derek's time at the Web App Summit to get some real answers! :-) This podcast wasn’t really about Ajax aiding accessibility, it was really more of an overview of Ajax as a design solution, with a few mentions of accessibility thrown in.
