Accessibility is the design of products, devices, services, vehicles, or environments to be usable by disabled people. The concept of accessible design and practice of accessible developments ensures both "direct access" (i.e. unassisted) and "indirect access" meaning compatibility with a person's assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).
