Disability is defined as any limitation of activity or restriction of participation in social life experienced by a person in their environment due to a substantial, lasting, or permanent impairment of one or more physical, sensory, mental, cognitive, or psychological functions, multiple disabilities, or a disabling health condition (Article L. 114 of the Social Action and Families Code).
Digital accessibility involves making online public communication services accessible to people with disabilities, meaning:
Perceivable: For example, facilitating visual and auditory perception of content for the user, providing textual equivalents for all non-text content, and creating content that can be presented in different ways without loss of information or structure (e.g., with simplified formatting).
Usable: For example, providing user orientation elements for navigation and content discovery, making all features accessible via the keyboard, allowing the user sufficient time to read and use content, and avoiding content that may trigger epileptic seizures.
Understandable: For example, ensuring that pages operate predictably and assisting the user in correcting input errors.
Robust: For example, optimizing compatibility with current and future uses, including assistive technologies.
