The CD-ROM Access Project has created two prototypes of accessible educational software. In building these prototypes we learned a lot about what is needed to make interactive software accessible to blind and visually impaired students. We also explored two popular authoring tools in depth: Macromedia Director and Java. Our prototypes are based on existing software sold to the mainstream market. With the permission of the original developers, we used their ideas, images, and sounds and we recreated the activities in different authoring tools with new accessibility features. We thank Sunburst Communications and LOGAL, Inc. for their assistance with this part of the project. Thanks also to IBM's Accessibility Center and Sun Microsystems access team for their support.
