The answer varies by country and industry. Even if you’re not required to make your website accessible by law, we recommend doing so for different reasons:
- U.S. Courts are overwhelmingly ruling in favor of accessibility. So, while the rule of law is not always clear, there’s no question an accessible site reduces legal risk.
- It opens your business to a more extensive consumer base.
Learning and Thinking Disabilities
Generally, these terms refer to the same thing. Some prefer to use the terminology “learning differences” or “learning challenges” instead of “learning disabilities”. Some are concerned that the term “learning disability” focuses on an individual’s cognitive weaknesses and isolates them from others. The term “learning differences” simply highlights the fact that they learn differently than others do.
So what exactly is the difference? Individuals with learning disabilities do think and learn differently. They have as much to offer and contribute as individuals without learning disabilities. However, in the United States and other countries, you may see laws to preserve individuals’ rights with disabilities to equal treatment. For example, see the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This act ensures that students ages 3-21 will receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). IDEA ensures that children with disabilities will have the same opportunities and access to public education as their peers without disabilities.
Learning and thinking differences are variations in how the brain understands and processes information. It can affect reading, writing, focus, math, and other functionalities. These differences, like ADHD and dyslexia, causing delays in developing communication or learning skills and diagnosable or identifiable by a professional. They are lifelong and unrelated to intelligence.
