Digital Accessibility Overview
Digital accessibility refers to the practice of ensuring that all digital content, tools, and resources are usable by everyone, including individuals with disabilities. This encompasses a wide range of considerations, such as making sure that websites can be navigated by screen readers, providing captions for videos, and ensuring that documents are formatted for ease of access. The goal is to create an online environment where every user, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use, can fully interact with and benefit from digital resources.
