Accessibility vs. Accommodation

  • Inaccessible experiences and materials exclude people.
  • Accommodations are modifications or adjustments made for an individual with a disability on an as-needed basis, and give access to whoever is there at the moment, which requires extra work on the part of the person and the organization.
  • Accessible digital experiences and materials provide equal access for everyone without extra work.
