A Wholeness-Disability Paradox

One of the conversations I’m most looking forward to at SOBCon09 later this week will focus on accessibility.  Glenda Watson Hyatt will present on creating web content tailored to meet the needs of this specific sector of your potential audience.

When it comes right down to it, the only issue here is taking the time to complete your publishing tasks, to serve your content in such a way that all the details are attended to.  Along with all the practical blogging tips Glenda will be teaching us, incorporating the needs of this community does something interesting for our practice.

In essence, by meeting the needs of the accessibility community, you are making your content complete.  In Jungian terms, your content is acquiring wholeness.  Wholeness encompasses disabilities, handicaps, (…prejudices, resentments, obsessions and weaknesses of all sorts for that matter).  And the key to developing toward wholeness is awareness: consciousness.
