Accessibility Myths – debunked
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/15
[Wayback/Archive] Accessibility Myths has great debunks.
Quite a few of them are phrased with a web perspective in mind. That’s just because of prevalence. These myths are there on native platforms (mobile, Windows, MacOS and Linux) as well and can be debunked in the same way.
Similar myths are even there for real life: accessibility of buildings, signage, streets, you name it are just that and can be debunked with common sense.
An inclusive society actually is cheaper than a exclusive one, as it benefits everyone. The same holds for your software.
