Accessibility - ERSTE

Accessibility is the capacity for something to be used or known without a user's limitations representing a barrier to the use or knowledge thereof.

The origins of these limitations may be physical, technological or structural.

A tool is therefore accessible when the user does not require, either on a permanent or occasional basis, a specific level of intelligence, hearing, sight, and mobility or memory capacity.
