\n\t\tDigital accessibility ensures that digital platforms and products are inclusive. That content, services, experiences, and functionality is available to everyone, regardless of their means or ability.\u00a0

Many groups of people can benefit from digital accessibility, including people with hardware restrictions or limited connectivity, but by far the most significant are people with disabilities.

Collectively, there are more than 1.3 billion people<\/a> around the world who experience a significant disability. And, still, only 3% of the internet<\/a> is accessible to them.

Disability can be permanent, temporary, or situational, but it restricts people\u2019s digital accessibility directly. And it\u2019s important to remember that, as we age, disability is likely something that we will all experience in one form or another.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n
