Teil 4 – Accessibility (Zugänglichkeit)

Why bother with accessibility?

1. Legal reasons

2. Moral reasons

The internet is a place of equality. It gives us all power and choice at the same level - but only if our access to it is equal to everyone else's

3. Public service reasons

The public sector has an obligation to serve the public. You aren't doing that if the only people you're serving are people without disabilities

4. Commercial reasons

The 2003 SDAC estimates that one in five Australians (3,951,000 or 20%) had a disability. This rate was the same for males and females. The rate increased with age, reaching 81% for those aged 85 years and over.
