No, because it's not possible to make a film for the blind, of an album
for the deaf. It *is*, however, not only possible to make a web site for
the blind, but if you follow the published standards, your site will
already be usable without any extra effort. Sure, you can go the extra
mile and make your site specifically usable by the blind, but just not
crippling it in the first place would be a good start.

With a braille terminal. I went to university with someone that used one.
Great at rendering text, but images without alt tags don't work too well,
for example, and flash is much the same.
