Narrated: “Accessibility is providing flexibility to accommodate the user’s needs and preferences. Flexibility here means that there are alternative ways of doing things on the particular technology. When I approach this computer, do I have alternatives for using it? To begin, yes. I can use the mouse or keyboard. But what if I have no arms, or I can’t see. Now, I have encountered an accessibility issue.”
