Digital accessibility refers to designing and building digital products (websites, apps, software, etc.) so everyone can use them, regardless of their abilities. This includes people with:

• Visual impairments: Difficulty seeing, such as blindness or low vision.
• Auditory impairments: Difficulty hearing, such as deafness or hard of hearing.
• Motor impairments: Difficulty using hands or fingers, such as quadriplegia or arthritis.
• Cognitive impairments: Difficulty learning, remembering, or concentrating, such as dyslexia or ADHD.
• Speech impairments: Difficulty speaking or understanding spoken language.

By making digital products accessible, we ensure everyone has equal access to information, communication, and opportunities in the digital world. Think of it like building a ramp for a wheelchair user – it doesn’t exclude anyone; it simply makes the experience easier and more inclusive for everyone.
