About Me (Sharron Rush)
I am an advocate for accessible technology and co-author with the late Dr. John Slatin of Maximum Accessibility - Making Your Web Site More Usable by Everyone. I helped to start the nonprofit organization Knowbilityin 1999 to ensure equal access to educational, employment, and social opportunities for people with disabilities. I serve as an Invited Expert to the Education and Outreach Working Group EOWG of the W3C and am a frequent speaker at technology and disability conferences.

I am an Air Force brat, the second child of a family of eight children. Yes, my parents were Catholic. I currently live in Austin, Texas with my husband, Ron Hicks. As often as we can we visit our son Ethan in New York City, the last time with three teen-aged nephews. The truth is, I love to travel.

How I Use Wikipedia
Skeptically

My Thoughts About Wikipedia
I am an enthusiastic team participant and love the idea of collaboration, so am well-disposed toward the theory of Wikipedia. This is the first time I have actually contributed to it however because I have found it to be quite daunting, not very accessible, and somewhat intimidating.

I have only started to participate in Wikipedia, so messages here may not be viewed for a very long time. Best to email me at Knowbility if you want to get in touch with me.
