1.How would you describe web accessibility? ** Today, technology plays a vital role in society. With the increase rise of web accessibility, people with disabilities can do more things themselves without having to rely on others. A web accessibility is a source that caters all people i.e. people with cognitive disabilities, hearing, vision. Overall we accessibility allows people with disabilities access different kinds of information. People with disabilities benefit from accessible websites, the major categories of the types of disability are visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive. People with vision impairment can access information through screen readers with voice recognition that can read aloud text from the computers. Furthermore people with hearing disabilities, would rely on visual and textual sources along with using video and audio systems. Individuals with motor, or are slow in response time, or limited fine motor control can be assisted by straight forward directions where they can access the information needed. Finally people with cognitive disabilities include learning disabilities, distractibility, short term memory or people who are not able to focus on large amounts of information. Therefore it is important on web accessibility to provide sources that would caater the wide range of cognitive disabilities. Yes I think that website/blog should be accessible so all people would have access to information equally. Furthermore I think that all Canadian websites should be accessible where newer technologies can be designed in other countries to assist people with disabilities. The biggest challenge of making a website accessible is the factor where one must be able to provide a solution that caters people with all different kinds of disabilities. However it is mostly important to focus on the major disabilities which include hearing, visual, motor and cognitive.
