English abstract

The development of information and communication technologies have improved the dissemination of information and knowledge globally. It is difficult to imagine a university, college, school, or scientific institution without access to the Internet and modern communications technology. Modern technologies have proven to be an engine for development, and at the same time, obstacles for people with disabilities. Standards for web accessibility are a necessary precondition for school information systems which aid students, teachers and parents in understanding and building relationships with each other and with school activities.
