The production of each book must include accessibility as a critical component. Instead of being an afterthought, it absolutely needs to be incorporated from the very beginning. The process of making resources accessible is much simpler than the process of redoing and correcting materials that are not accessible.
Why is it important to embed in our books?
Billions of people worldwide suffer from vision and hearing inpairments as well as learning difficulties and neurodiversity such as dyslexia, dysprasia, Autism and ADHD. In the digital world, a significant portion of the world’s population are disabled as a result of inaccessible platforms and knowledge, which can result in widespread disadvantage, barriers, and social injustice.
Everyone stands to benefit from accessibility
Design that is accessible is beneficial to everyone. When it comes to books, who wouldn’t want them to be well-organised and easy to use? There are also a lot of people who choose to learn in different ways. For example, some people might opt to listen to books rather than read them, or they might find that having video captions helps them concentrate better.
