Accessible
accommodations allow people with different disabilities such as the
blind and visually impaired, people with physical disabilities who have
difficulty operating their hands, people with cognitive disabilities
such as dyslexia and ADHD, people with hearing impairments and others
with disabilities, to make effective use of the services and information
offered on the site.
Here are some examples of guidelines for sites for people with disabilities:
A
blind user uses software that can read information from the computer.
When browsing the site, the website should be adjusted so it will be
able to read all texts in logical order, obtain a description of
information contained in the images, identify headings and links and be
able to run everything on the site such as Links, Forms and Buttons.
A
user with a disability who is unable to operate a mouse or similar
facility can navigate the site and perform operations using commands
provided through the keyboard.
The text on the website is relatively conspicuously colored in the background, enabling people whose vision is poor to read.
People
with hearing impairments can obtain the verbal information provided on
videos on the site by adding captions to the videos.
Web
accessibility can actually benefit everyone, including people without
disabilities. Web accessibility is about making web design flexible,
increasing usability for all. Also, it has been shown that web
accessibility can have a very positive affect financially, technically,
and through public perception of an organization.
