abstract = "The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 requires employers to provide {"}reasonable accommodation{"} to workers with disabilities. One of the most important areas for reasonable accommodation is access to general purpose and specialized computer systems used in workplaces and educational institutions. Providing the means for people with disabilities to access computer systems is often described as {"}electronic curb cuts and ramps{"} 1. Curb cuts and ramps have become a standard for people in wheelchairs to gain independent access to city streets and public buildings. This tutorial will discuss the types, availability and steepness of electronic curb cuts and ramps for physical, sensory and cognitive disabilities.",
