Abstract
This study focuses on the use of web accessibility software by people with cerebral palsy performing three typical user tasks. We evaluate the customization options in the IBM accessibility Works add-on to the Mozilla Firefox browser, as used by ten users. While specific features provide significant benefit, we find that users tend to pick unnecessary options, resulting in a potentially negative user experience.
