digital accessibility

Digital accessibility is the ability of a website, mobile application or electronic document to be easily navigated and understood by a wide range of users, including those users who have visual, auditory, motor or cognitive disabilities.

There are many assistive software and hardware tools available to help someone with a disability to successfully interact with digital devices and content. For example, an alternative input device, such as a sip and puff switch, can allow a user with impaired motor skills to access digital content without having to use a traditional keyboard or mouse and an alternative output device, such as a screen reader, can allow a user whose vision is impaired to consume digital content .
