Le rôle de l’accessibilité
Accessibility Week in Canada is from May 28i to June 3rd this year. In support of this initiative, we here at The Erb Group have decided to share information and different resources to help our team gain insight into what we can do to better help those who need it.
So, what exactly is accessibility? According to Accessibility Services Canada, "Accessibility refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people who experience disabilities." This can include obstacles à l’accessibilité notamment :
- un environnement physique inaccessible;
- une absence de technologies d’aide (p. ex. matériel adapté et dispositifs d’assistance et de réhabilitation);
- les attitudes négatives à l’endroit des personnes en situation de handicap;
- des services, des systèmes et des politiques qui entravent la pleine participation à la vie des personnes qui souffrent d’une maladie ou l’absence complète de ces éléments.
