Accessibility means that people with a broad range of abilities, including visual, motor, auditory, speech, or cognitive disabilities, can use websites and other digital services. 

Accessibility is essential to a successful website. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in four U.S. adults – 61 million Americans – have a disability. And if that number were not compelling enough, accessibility is the law. For more information,

see Section 508.gov.

So how does a team create accessible digital experiences?
