Marvin I presume you’re using the image map to illustrate a particular principle and encourage interaction in some way? What I’m getting at is there a pedagogic principle at work here? So making the image maps accessible may allow users to navigate through to other content etc. But if the image map is underpinning some particular approach to the delivery of learning that is highly visual and interactive in nature you may need to provide an alternative learning approach rather then just making the image map accessible. An extreme example to try and illustrate my point. You design an interactive activity where you say to students meet at the top of a long flight of stairs where we will discuss the effects of exercise on heart rate. Using a lift could provide an accessible alternative for someone in wheelchair to get to the discussion. But this wouldn’t achieve part of the outcome of the lesson; that is to experience first hand the effects of exercise on heart rate. In this case you may need to re-design exercise to make it accessible, i.e. use a hill instead of stairs. Andrew Medicare Australia is reimbursing the cost of external breast prostheses.
