I've found myself helping a friend design a website which is essentially a mix of social networking/craigslist for people with disabilities. I've admittedly not been the most thoughtful in accommodating my code for the disabled in the past. My particular worry is making a website that will permit ease of use for the blind using screen readers, as I don't want it to be biased on what disability they have.

If you have any tips, I would be very appreciative.

One of the easiest things that nobody things of is that a lot of users use tab on their keyboard rather than using the mouse. So as well as including a :hover in CSS, include :focus (can use the same style).

You will want to think about colours as many people are colour blind. Also, think about what content screenreaders will read out, they are very hard to use because so many of us do not think of them when we create websites (I often forget, and I made a site for a company that gave equipment to disabled people!).
