Accessibility Standards and Guidelines

Overview

The concept of digital accessibility revolves around making digital technology usable for everyone, regardless of ability and assistive technology. While checklists, standards, and laws play crucial roles in promoting accessibility, they occasionally overshadow the ultimate objective: addressing the actual requirements of individuals in real-world situations. Accessibility is a significant component of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The resources provided below will help you understand the importance of creating inclusive content.
