Disability inclusion movements like The Valuable 500, are driving businesses to be more inclusive and accessible. But what is Accessibility?
Accessibility Definition: People are not excluded from using something on the basis of experiencing a disability. Accessibility means that people can do what they need to do in a similar amount of time and effort as someone that does not have a disability. It means that people are empowered, can be independent, and will not be frustrated by something that is poorly designed or implemented.
