Abstract: Persons with disabilities are often marginalised from economy and society due to the lack of access to disability related information and services. Through the use of c access to the information and services can often be obtained e.g. a visually impaired user using a screen reader. The Deaf however, cannot use such technology to break the barrier because of differences in literacy and comfort with written material. The Deaf thus requires another intervention to improve their access to information and services. One such mechanism is by embedding animated Sign Language in Web pages. Keywords: National Accessibility Portal, NAP, Animated sign language, Web accessibility, Human disabilities, Assistive technologies.
