Looking For WordPress Accessibility Tools

Hello,
I'm creating a website for a company that supports people with various disabilities and will need accessibility features on the site however the options I have found do not seem to be fit for purpose these are WP-Accessbility http://wordpress.org/plugins/accessibility-widget/ which just adds a tiny, hardly noticeable grey tool bar outside the page with some icons for buttons which is not clear what each one does. The other plugin called Visibility http://www.latentexistence.me.uk/visibility/ doesn't work with twentyten theme I'm using so I am not sure where to go from here. What I would of liked is something similar to what this website: http://www.creativesupport.co.uk/ has at the top of the page theirs is a WordPress website so am wondering what plugin they used for that does anybody know? or can suggest a solution that suits my requirements?

Thank you

 

Have you tried this one: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-accessibility/ ?

 

Yes I have tried that one. As mentioned in my above post unfortunately it is not fit for purpose as it just adds a tiny, hardly noticeable grey tool bar outside the page with some icons for buttons which is not clear what each one does.

 

I seriously doubt you can cheat your way to accessibility with a plugin. That sorta thing should be coded in the first place.

Here is an accessible framework. http://whiteboardframework.com/

I remember this fellow from GAWDS way back in the day.

They do high level accessibility work. You simply can't go wrong with those folks.

I wasn't trying to cheat my way to accessibility I just wanted a simple text re-sizer plugin that also changes contrast. I've never used a framework before I put the whiteboard into my themes directory but it doesn't show up in Wordpress dashboard in the themes menu for some reason. I quite specific on theme I want because I have a layout I want to acheive: logo top-left, telephone number email address top-right, horizontal navigation, a slideshow image across the page width underneath navigation then page content centered underneath slideshow, no side menus/ side-bars either. I've achieved this in Twentyten already but I've become stuck regarding the accessibilty features which is why I came here. Should I just set up a new theme in twentyeleven as I have found a plugin just wont work with current theme? Problem is it will take a bit of work adapting it to suit layout I mention in this post.

 

Hi. I would have to look into the contrast issue but this may be a viable solution.

There are a few font centric things listed here as well http://visionteam.com/visionteam/?p=183

Just to let you know, WP-Accessibility (http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-accessibility/) and Accessibility Widget (http://wordpress.org/plugins/accessibility-widget/) are two different plugins.
I never tried the former, but I made the latter.
