He is an [assistive technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistive_technology) user himself, and was working with [Mike Gifford](http://drupal.org/user/27930) and [Open Concept](http://openconcept.ca/) to help improve the accessibility of Drupal 7. Zufelt talks about some of the differences between the [WCAG 2.0.](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/) He also discusses the accessibility implications of JavaScript, jQuery UI, and the Drupal 7 Admin Overlay as related to the [Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite (WAI-ARIA)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/aria/) recommendation. Zufelt also was selected to present at the [Drupal Core Developer's summit](http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/core-developer-summit) on the topic of ["Don't Sink the Accessibility Boat" (PPT).](https://zufelt.ca/Drupalcon-core-developer-summit-accessibility-presentation.ppt) He also talks about the [Common Look and Feel for the Internet 2.0 (CLF 2.0)](http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/clf2-nsi2/index-eng.asp) standards set by Canada for their government sites. Finally, Zufelt talks about tracking [Drupal issues tagged with "Accessibility"](http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?issue_tags=accessibility), as well as how he intends to create a portal page on Drupal.org at http://drupal.org/accessibility with more information on Accessibility. It currently doesn't exist yet, but in the meantime you can check out the [Accessibility Group](http://groups.drupal.org/accessibility) on g.d.o. for more information on Accessibility and Drupal.
