Probably so; it also depends on how long the page is.Fortron said:
On the other hand, if the menu is presented first, then a 'skip
navigation' link can be very useful. But again it depends on whether the
site contains correct mark-up ..... especially the consistent use of
headers.
On the 'other' other hand it depends on the exact nature of the user's
disabilities (a word that some people disagree with). A sighted person
with locomotive problems (e.g. limited movement in the arms and hands)
is interested in the layout of the page and the ability to move around
it using the keyboard and with minimum hand movements.
I quite often hesitate before making sweeping statements on
accessibility because:
(a) There are quite a number different type of physical 'difficulties'
to be taken into account
(b) Apart from needing glasses to read the screen I don't have any
problems -- so can't speak with first-hand experience
(c) It's easy to underestimate the capabilities of people with
difficulties.
Still, good mark-up and an awareness of potential problems is a good
start.
