Examples include websites, software, and mobile applications that are usable by individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor impairments. Communication Accessibility Ensuring that communication methods are accessible to everyone. Examples include providing sign language interpreters, captions for videos, and alternative text for images. Product Accessibility Designing products that can be used by people with various disabilities. Examples include ergonomic tools, accessible packaging, and adaptive devices.
