As I understand it if a user cannot see the information on the screen then research has shown that they are unlikely to scroll down to find it. Therefore if you are talking about a text only page, why should a visually impaired user have to read a load of text to get the information? I suggest that the page is broken up into smaller bites, which is one easier to access and takes one directly to the information required.
