What is accessibility?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Accessibility recognizes that people interact with technology in diverse ways and removes barriers so that people with disabilities can more fully engage with digital content, tools, products, and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Statistics and facts about disabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
People with disabilities are the world\u2019s largest minority<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

61 million<\/strong> adults in the United States live with a disability<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
26%<\/strong> of adults in the United States live with a disability<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Over 1 billion<\/strong> people worldwide live with a disability<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Almost everyone<\/strong> is likely to experience some form of disability\u2014temporary or permanent, at some point in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Temporary disabilities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Even a short-term injury or context affects the way people interact with the world around them. Think about a limb injury, ear infection or laryngitis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Situational disabilities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
As people move through different environments, their abilities can also change dramatically. In a loud crowd, they can\u2019t hear well. In a car, they\u2019re distracted. New parents spend much of their day doing tasks one-handed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Why is accessibility important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
01. Accessibility is part of being inclusive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The web offers valuable resources and services that everyone deserves to access, and that people with disabilities rely on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\u201cThe power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.\u201d<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
02. Accessibility improves the user experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Essential for some, useful for all. Anyone can experience periods of limitations, or prefer different ways of finding and consuming information. Some benefits are…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Captions help in a loud environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
03. Accessibility drives innovation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Accessibility features in products and services often solve unanticipated problems. Sometimes limitations can propel us to think through problems differently and come up with unique solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many countries have laws requiring digital accessibility, and the issue is of increased legal concern. In the United States, there are two main laws governing digital accessibility \u2013 the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)<\/strong> and Section 508<\/strong>.
The ADA<\/strong> is a law that protects people with disabilities in many areas of public life. Title II<\/strong> applies to web accessibility for State and local governments. Title III<\/strong> applies to businesses that are open to the public.
Section 508<\/strong> establishes accessibility requirements for electronic and information technology developed, maintained, funded, or used by the Federal Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
05. Clients may require accessibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In addition to client requirements, every federal agency or any organization that interacts with a federal agency is required to complete a legally binding Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)<\/strong>\u2014it details a product\u2019s level of conformance with International Web Accessibility Content Guidelines (WCAG).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
“By 2025, all G20 countries \u2013 which account for 90% of the global world product \u2013 will establish enforceable legal standards for digital accessibility, leading to a \u201cGDPR moment\u201d in which businesses scramble to achieve compliance.”<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

06. Accessibility adds value<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Some clients may not realize the importance or value of accessibility. This gives us an opportunity to establish the value of our contributions to the success of their product. It may also give us a marketing edge against competing agencies.
Although accessibility adds some additional effort, it will be a much larger effort to have to go back and fix a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
07. Accessibility may affect your reputation and marketability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts are important to business success and reputation. People may prefer to support companies who share their values and who design products that fit their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
“By 2023, digital products in full WCAG Level 2 compliance will outperform their market competitors by 50%.”<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
There’s a considerable overlap between features that improve accessibility and SEO performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How people with disabilities access digital content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
People with disabilities use assistive technologies<\/strong> or adaptive techniques<\/strong> to access digital content. In order to use these successfully, they rely on content that has been designed and coded following accessibility standards, and that has been tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Assistive technologies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Software and hardware that people with disabilities use to improve interaction with the web. Some examples are:
+ Alternative keyboard or mouse + Refreshable braille display + Screen magnifier + Screen reader + Voice recognition software<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Adaptive techniques<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Techniques to improve interaction with the Web. These include techniques with standard software or mainstream web browsers, such as the following:
+ Increasing text size + Turning on captions + Reducing motion + Voice control + Pointer control <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re committed to creating products that everyone can use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As the world\u2019s largest minority, people with disabilities deserve to access digital content. Understanding and incorporating accessibility guidelines can be a complex process. Research and testing takes time. However, it\u2019s not just about checking off boxes to mitigate legal liabilities, it\u2019s about doing the right thing and ensuring everyone can access digital content, tools, products, and services.
As we continue to design, build, and learn, we promise to work hard to understand the needs of people with disabilities, for the best user experience possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
