Why is Accessibility Training important?

At Recite Me we believe in digital inclusion and accessibility for three core reasons. Firstly it’s the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do and it’s the thing you must do.

Accessibility Training is the right thing to do ethically, it helps you better understand how people with disabilities and diverse needs access the internet. This puts you in a better place to offer support, improve processes and promote accessibility.

Furthermore, it’s the smart thing to do as web accessibility broadens the market reach of your business. With an average of 1 in 4 people having a disability. By creating inclusive processes you are unlocking new potential customers.

Finally, web accessibility training is the thing you must do to be WCAG compliant. This protects your organisation against the risk of accessibility lawsuits. By mitigating against the likelihood of accessibility lawsuits you are also protecting your organisations brand reputation and image in the market.
