Abstract:
While accessibility has increasingly become a concern in today's society, the implementation of this concern has failed to address many issues. This paper discusses the components of exclusivity, safety, and reasonability in accessibility. Common problems in the implementation of these factors are addressed. These elements in both design for accessibility and evaluation of accessibility, constitute the principle of accommodation in accessibility. The application of ergonomic principles to improve the accommodation of accessibility is proposed.
