What is accessibility?
Digital technology and content have greatly enhanced people's abilities.
But some in our community can't access a lot of what's out there for a variety of reasons that keep people from using technology.
Accessibility techniques work to fix that.
Why make IT accessible?
- It's the right thing to do
- It's the law
- It's part of U-M's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion commitment
- And more reasons to embrace accessibility
