The Convenience of Accessibility: How Everyone Benefits From Accessibility Solutions

Many people do not feel as strongly about accessibility as the people who are directly affected by it. It is probably fair to say that most people are indifferent to it, though there are some people who appose the idea of making things accessible for disabled individuals if they believe it will affect their livelihood or life style negatively. This article aims to outline the tangible benefits of having accessible solutions for everyone, even if one does not have a disability. It also seeks to put to rest any rumors and misnomers commonly associated with accessible solutions. Our hope is that anyone who was uncertain about accessibility before will find a new or renewed appreciation for it, and perhaps aid in accessibility advocacy efforts going forward.
