Thank you for taking the time to learn about digital accessibility.
At its core, digital accessibility involves two key considerations:
- Do people with disability have the right tools on their device of choice to make their online experience accessible?
- Is the content that people with disability are using designed in an accessible way to work with these tools
To hear directly from people with disability about their experience with digital access and gaining independence, watch our video and learn about their insights and perspectives with digital technology.
When these two things are achieved, independent online access is realised, providing an equitable and accessible experience for all.
If you are a person with a disability or supporting a person with a disability, you may be surprised to know that our everyday devices such as computers, mobile devices and even our TVs and gaming consoles are full of great accessibility features.
To help get these set up on your device of choice, we have a great resource below to get you started.
If you are focusing more on the second part of the digital access equation and want to get your content accessible, we have a number of great guides and a free course below to help make your online content work for everyone.
