“According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people worldwide have disabilities.“ These could be visible or invisible disabilities and many people will benefit from digital accessibility and assistive technologies. Often, when we talk about digital accessibility, there is a focus on blind persons or those with a visual or print impairment. However, the list is much broader and includes people who are deaf or hard of hearing, people with motor impairments and people who have cognitive disabilities such as autism, attention deficit, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, among others.
In 2019, we launched the Accessibility Working Group (AWG) to support changing customer and legal requirements throughout our publishing environment: eBooks, journals, and websites. The AWG is comprised of colleagues from across the organization who share a goal to make accessible content available, with a firm focus on customer experience, understanding our customers’ needs and driving changes to provide the best quality content in the most accessible way for everyone.
We recognize that we have more work to do, so customers can expect further benefits as we evolve our platforms and products to provide more detailed accessibility metadata and the improved and increased use of alt text and accessibility features within our products.
