Accessibility is a fundamental design goal that aims to maximize access and remove barriers for all users, regardless of their abilities or circumstances. It goes beyond merely accommodating users with disabilities; instead, it recognizes that people exist along a diverse spectrum of physical, cognitive, sensory, and perceptual experiences. These experiences can be permanent, temporary, situational, or episodic. In essence, designing for accessibility means designing for everyone.
