Digital accessibility is a practice ensuring that content, resources and technology communicated electronically can be used regardless of ability, disability or assistive technology.
Digital accessibility promotes inclusivity in your content, including, but not limited to:
- Websites
- Video and audio content
- Electronic documents
While digital accessibility specifically impacts people with disabilities, it improves your content and user experience for everyone.

Accessibility statements
An accessibility statement communicates a commitment to providing inclusive and accessible experiences for all users, including those with disabilities. It outlines the accessibility standards being followed, highlights available accommodations, and provides contact information for reporting issues or requesting assistance.
Accessibility is a process
Our approach to disability justice seeks to bridge the digital divide by treating accessibility as a process—an ongoing collaboration to expand access. We view accessibility not as a one-time solution but as a continuous process of identifying and removing barriers that hinder engagement. By centering the diverse experiences of individuals with disabilities, we ensure that accessibility efforts address real-world needs effectively and in real time. This perspective encourages innovation and fosters a culture where everyone’s interactions are valued. Through collaboration and intentional design, we aim to support you in creating spaces and systems that are welcoming and usable for all.
To implement this approach in your daily work, begin by integrating accessibility practices into every stage of your projects, from planning to execution.
- Familiarize yourself with accessibility standards and tools relevant to your work by attending a training.
- Apply new skills and automatic tools consistently to your content.
- Create an environment where accessibility is a shared responsibility.
- Support policy changes that make accessibility an integral part of your team’s mission.
