What Is Accessibility?

• Accessibility is not “in” the Web document.

• Accessibility is experiential: The ability of a user with a disability to obtain the same information and perform the same tasks as any other user.

• Accessibility is environmental: It depends on the interaction of the document with the OS, user agents, assistive technologies--and people and the environment where they work.

• Generally creating a better user experience for all.
