Reflection Topic Five: accessibility and technologies
“Why do you think many digital accessibility practices aren’t more well-known or commonly used?”
We live in an able-bodied centred society. Due to that, many digital accessibility practices aren’t more well-known or commonly used because accessibility often isn’t prioritized or understood by the broader public and developers. This lack of awareness, combined with limited resources and the misconception that accessibility is an add-on rather than an essential part of design, contributes to its underutilization. Increasing education and awareness can help make digital spaces more inclusive for everyone. If it was brought to the public’s consciousness more, the struggles those with disabilities face in their day to day-perhaps more of an effort would be made. As sometime’s even those who are the most sympathetic don’t know when to extend empathy, from not having insight on such issues.
