Awareness, Understanding, and Attitudes of Digital Accessibility in Technology Professionals

Abstract

Digital accessibility is about designing and building digital products so that regardless of a person's mental or physical abilities, they still interact with them meaningfully and equitably. This study explores the digital accessibility awareness, understanding, and attitudes of technology professionals. As a research method, an online survey was sent to technology professionals currently working in the field to gain a clearer picture of what digital accessibility resources are being used, what limitations might exist, and attitudes and perceptions surrounding digital accessibility in the workforce.
