Practical illustrations: 4 major dimensions of accessibility

#GAAD #GAAD2024 #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay

A short practical take on 4 major dimensions of accessibility

 

•      Perceivable: Can I find the content and elements such as headings or links?

 

•      Operable: Will features such as Links, check boxes, radio buttons work with whatever access tools I am using

 

•      Understandable: If my screen reader can find it and I can produce the desired action, will the results be something that makes sense. Consider images that just read “image” or ugly filenames such as the ones autogenerated in one’s phone photo gallery

 

•      Robust: Do all of the above happen across platforms and tools used by different content users
