I'm visually impaired, I use a white cane and I love WoW. My disability has little effect in raids (although I do get horribly lost, just like the real world) unless there are fast mobs involved, like the pesky post-Curator mana wryms in Kara. However my guild know about it and are very helpful. My disability is not one I can escape from even in WoW but a little improvement on the accessibility front, such as making the text bigger, especially in the chat boxes would go a long way, ditto the option for bigger maps.

Well, the chat box option is easy enough (look at Prat and ClearFont), but I'm not sure where you could go to find a bigger map setup, since the default maps already have tiny details. Might be worth looking around, though.

I received most of my mods from a friend in one big .rar- but it did include one which allows me to enlarge or shrink the map. I believe it is cartographer, though you may need to look into it to see if it can help you or not :)
