What Makes Something “Accessible?”
According to Webster's Dictionary, accessibility is easy to obtain or use or easily reached, entered, or used by people with disabilities. To me, this sounds like a bunch of words. What do they mean? I honestly don’t think anyone knows. I have not yet found anything that is " universally accessible.” This is because we are all different. That being said, I have an issue that this blog post will address. When this blog started eleven years ago, I was twenty-seven. By then, you are supposed to be “maturing,” whatever that means. However, I believe that I am still maturing as I write today. I bring that up because back in 2013, I wrote a blog entitled “But They Said It Was Accessible,” which I have linked at the bottom of this article. The original post discussed accessibility in general and how I believed it wasn’t where it needed to be back then. The rest of the blog will discuss our improvements, if any, since 2013. In my opinion, we still have much work to do.
