International Center for Disability Resources on the Internet - A Primer on Accessiblity Translate this page automatically. The Internet and the World Wide Web are tremendous resources for all who can use them. It is a fact that certain segments of the population have a more difficult time accessing these resources than other segments.
Accessibility simply means making resources usable by the largest number of people possible.
This includes people with disabilities. In fact the issues faced by people with disabilities in accessing the Internet and World Wide Web are wide and diverse. The techniques used to make the Internet and World Wide Web accessible range from the simple to highly complex. Laws and policies are now beginning to appear that mandate that web pages be accessible to people with disabilities. These are the legal underpinnings of accessibility for people with disabilities in the parts of the world where they exist.
