Abstract:
The accessibility of web resources for people with disabilities is a key element in creating an inclusive digital space. In the modern world, where the internet plays an important role in everyday life, ensuring equal and free access to online resources for all categories of users, including people with disabilities, becomes a priority task. For this purpose, international standards WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) were developed, which contain recommendations for creating websites that are convenient for perception and use by people with various types of health impairments, such as problems with vision, hearing, or motor skills. The goal of the work is to study the accessibility barriers of Russian internet resources for persons with visual and hearing impairments and to propose measures for their elimination in accordance with international WCAG standards. In Russia, the issue of web resource compliance with these standards remains relevant, especially against the backdrop of an increasing number of users with disabilities. The growth of this population category underscores the need to adapt websites to their needs. However, many Russian web resources still do not meet accessibility requirements, which creates barriers for people with disabilities.
