To mark Global Accessibility Awareness Day today (Thursday 19 May), Business Disability Forum’s Technology Taskforce, is sharing several new free resources to help organisations understand the benefits of accessibility.
Around 15% of the world’s population has a disability and accessibility is about making information, products, and systems usable for disabled people and everyone. Whether writing emails, managing projects, designing products or buying-in tech, we all need to think about accessibility.
FREE DISABILITY RESOURCES
The free resources from the Business Disability Forum provide organisations with ready-to-use presentations, videos, Q and A documents, an online guide to accessibility training, etc. It also provides answers to key accessibility questions, such as:
- What is accessibility?
- Who benefits from accessibility?
- How does accessibility drive innovation?
- Why is diversity important in the workplace?
- What is brand accessibility?
- What is inclusive design?
- How can accessibility improve legal compliance?
- Which accessibility training is right for me and my organisation?
