Abstract
The web is constantly evolving and as it does web designers and developers need a way of being able to interact with people with disabilities and users of AT and observe them interacting with their web interfaces. User testing is an excellent bridge between developers and users of AT but this paper asks if user testing is currently an elitist exercise undertaken by developers who are already well disposed towards best practice and how this can be changed.
