Accessibility refers to the design and implementation of products, services, and environments that are usable and navigable by as many people as possible, regardless of their physical, cognitive, or sensory abilities. It involves removing barriers that prevent individuals from accessing and using these products, services, and environments.
Examples of accessibility include:
- Building wheelchair ramps and accessible parking spaces to make buildings and public spaces accessible to people with physical disabilities.
- Providing captions and transcripts for videos and audio content to make them accessible to people with hearing impairments.
- Creating websites and digital content that can be accessed and used by people with visual or cognitive impairments, such as using descriptive alt text for images and providing keyboard navigation options.
Ensuring accessibility is an important aspect of creating an inclusive society where everyone has equal access to opportunities and experiences.

Reaching Your Target Audience – Why Closed Captioning is Important
The accuracy of closed captioning is important. It affects nearly 40 million Americans who are hard of hearing or functionally deaf.
Next time you’re at the gym watching the TV scroll closed captioning, notice how many times “there” should be “their.” What about homophones like carat, caret and carrot? We’ve all seen the viral videos of closed captioning gone wrong, but if you’re deaf or hard of hearing, it’s not very amusing at all.
