Spotlight Presentation: Why Is Accessibility Important? with Scott Schroeder

• 1 in 4 people have a disability. It may be visible or invisible.
• People who are blind or visually impaired experience documents differently, and an inaccessible document or form can be rendered useless for them.
• A Deaf person can’t follow a speaker if an interpreter isn’t being used. Just as someone needing closed captioning can’t follow without it.

• A document with many images and colors might look really cool to you, but to someone with dyslexia or a brain injury, it could be a jumbled mess that can’t be deciphered.
• A busy chat box in a virtual meeting can override the presenter for someone using screen reading software, and can be very challenging for someone who has to watch the presenter and the interpreter, as well as monitor the chat.

Generally speaking, accessibility means that people with disabilities can access the same things as those without a disability. Whether it is a physical, cognitive, hearing or visual impairment, disabilities can make interacting with documents, websites, virtual meetings, phones and other office equipment very difficult.
