Accessibility

Accessibility is a concept that aims to make all areas of daily life accessible to everyone without having to rely on the assistance of others. In particular, people with disabilities have difficulty participating equally in society when faced with barriers. Barriers are found for instance in buildings, public areas, apartments, workplaces, on transport, or when accessing services or information. Accessibility therefore means providing ramps, elevators, interpreters for sign language or information in plain language. As it is barely possible to achieve full accessibility in all areas, sometimes the caveat as accessible as possible is used.
