Accessibility in publishing

Accessibility in publishing refers to designing and presenting content in ways that allow everyone, including people with disabilities, to access, understand, and use it effectively. This involves using features like clear text, alternative descriptions for images, accessible formats (like audio or braille), and easy navigation. The goal is to remove barriers so that all readers—regardless of visual, auditory, mobility, or cognitive differences—can engage fully with the material. Ensuring accessibility enhances inclusivity, broadens reach, and complies with legal standards and best practices in publishing.
