What is Accessibility?
Accessibility refers to the practice of making digital content and applications usable by people with disabilities. This includes people with visual, auditory, cognitive, and physical disabilities.
Accessible digital content and applications are designed and developed in a way that makes them easy to perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with. This can be achieved by using a variety of accessibility features, such as:
- Alternative text for images: This allows people with visual disabilities to understand the content of images using a screen reader.
- Closed captions and transcripts for videos: This allows people with auditory disabilities to access the audio content of videos.
- Keyboard accessibility: This allows people with physical disabilities to navigate and interact with digital content and applications using a keyboard, rather than a mouse.
Why is Accessibility Important?
Accessibility is important because it allows people with disabilities to participate fully in society. By making digital content and applications accessible, we can:
- Improve the quality of life for people with disabilities: Accessible digital content and applications can help people with disabilities live more independently and productively.
- Promote inclusion: Accessible digital content and applications can help people with disabilities feel more included in society.
- Increase economic opportunity: Accessible digital content and applications can help people with disabilities participate in the workforce and contribute to the economy.
