It seems you might also be wise to record the DDA categories as well.

There is no "standardised" list of disabilities because people are not standard. The DDA lists those disabilities which it considers fall under the remit of the Act. A better type of survey would be to identify barriers that you think may exist and test if this is the case, such as "is the type face we use large enough and clear enough for you to read? Another thing to consider will be how accessible will you be making your survey? In what alternative formats will you be creating it? How easy will it be to complete? Just some thoughts Marcus >>
