Adaptations to wheelchair tires are another example; widening the tires enables wheelchair users to move over soft surfaces, such as deep snow on ski hills, and sandy beaches. Assistive technology and adaptive technology have a key role in developing the means for people with disabilities to live more independently, and to more fully participate in mainstream society. In order to have access to assistive or adaptive technology, however, educating the public and even legislating requirements to incorporate this technology have been necessary. The UN CRPD, and courts in the United States, Japan, UK, and elsewhere, have decided that when it is needed to assure secret ballot, authorities should provide voters with assistive technology. The European Court of Human Rights, on the contrary, in case Toplak v. Slovenia ruled that due to high costs, the abandonment of the assistive equipment in elections did not violate human rights. </section> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"> <h2 id="Employment">Employment</h2> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Accessibility&action=edit&section=4&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Employment" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"> <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/File:Usda_hiring_applicants_with_disabilities.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-file-description"> <noscript> <img alt="A man is speaking behind a microphone podium during a conference.

Employment rates for workers with disabilities are lower than for the general workforce. Workers in Western countries fare relatively well, having access to more services and training as well as legal protections against employment discrimination. Despite this, in the United States the 2012 unemployment rate for workers with disabilities was 12.9%, while it was 7.3% for workers without disabilities.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-32">[32]</a> More than half of workers with disabilities (52%) earned less than $25,000 in the previous year, compared with just 38% of workers with no disabilities. This translates into an earnings gap where individuals with disabilities earn about 25 percent less of what workers without disabilities earn. Among occupations with 100,000 or more people, dishwashers had the highest disability rate (14.3%), followed by refuse and recyclable material collectors (12.7%), personal care aides (11.9%), and janitors and building cleaners (11.8%). The rates for refuse and recyclable material collectors, personal care aides, and janitors and building cleaners were not statistically different from one another.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-33">[33]</a> Surveys of non-Western countries are limited, but the available statistics also indicate fewer jobs being filled by workers with disabilities. In India, a large 1999 survey found that "of the 'top 100 multinational companies' in the country [...] the employment rate of persons with disabilities in the private sector was a mere 0.28%, 0.05% in multinational companies and only 0.58% in the top 100 IT companies in the country".<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-dsq-sds-34">[34]</a> India, like much of the world, has large sections of the economy that are without strong regulation or social protections, such as the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Informal_economy?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Informal economy">informal economy</a>.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-35">[35]</a> Other factors have been cited as contributing to the high unemployment rate, such as public service regulations. Although employment for workers with disabilities is higher in the public sector due to hiring programs targeting persons with disabilities, regulations currently restrict types of work available to persons with disabilities: "Disability-specific employment reservations are limited to the public sector and a large number of the reserved positions continue to be vacant despite nearly two decades of enactment of the PWD Act".<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-dsq-sds-34">[34]</a> Expenses related to adaptive or assistive technology required to participate in the workforce may be tax deductible expenses for individuals with a medical practitioner's prescription in some jurisdictions. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"> <h3 id="Disability_management">Disability management</h3> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Accessibility&action=edit&section=5&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Disability management" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> Disability management (DM) is a specialized area of <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Human_resources?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Human resources">human resources</a> that supports efforts of employers to better integrate and retain workers with disabilities. Some workplaces have policies in place to provide "reasonable accommodation" for employees with disabilities, but many do not.

It has been noted by researchers that where accommodations are in place for employees with disabilities, these frequently apply to individuals with "pre-determined or apparent disabilities as determined by national social protection or Equality Authorities",<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Geisen165-36">[36]</a> which include persons with pre-existing conditions who receive an official disability designation. One of the biggest challenges for employers is in developing policies and practises to manage employees who develop disabilities during the course of employment. Even where these exist, they tend to focus on workplace injuries, overlooking job retention challenges faced by employees who acquire a non-occupation injury or illness. Protecting employability is a factor that can help close the unemployment gap for persons with disabilities.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-Geisen165-36">[36]</a> </section> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(4)"> <h2 id="Transportation">Transportation</h2> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Accessibility&action=edit&section=6&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Transportation" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <section class="mf-section-4 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-4"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"> <div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable"> For the metric of transport connectivity for planning purposes, see <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility_(transport)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Accessibility (transport)">Accessibility (transport)</a>. </div> Providing mobility to people with disabilities includes changes for public facilities like gently sloping paths of travel for people using wheelchairs and difficulty walking up stairs, or audio announcements for the blind (either live or <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Automated_on-train_announcements?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Automated on-train announcements">automated</a>); dedicated services like <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Paratransit?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Paratransit">paratransit</a>; and adaptations to personal vehicles. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"> <h3 id="Adapted_automobiles_for_persons_with_disabilities">Adapted automobiles for persons with disabilities</h3> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Accessibility&action=edit&section=7&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Adapted automobiles for persons with disabilities" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"> <div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable"> See also: <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Adapted_automobile?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Adapted automobile">Adapted automobile</a> </div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"> <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/File:Taxi_wheelchair.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-file-description"> <noscript> <img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Taxi_wheelchair.jpg/220px-Taxi_wheelchair.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="3648" data-file-height="2736"> </noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 165px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Taxi_wheelchair.jpg/220px-Taxi_wheelchair.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="165" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Taxi_wheelchair.jpg/330px-Taxi_wheelchair.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Taxi_wheelchair.jpg/440px-Taxi_wheelchair.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a> <figcaption> A wheelchair accessible <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Taxi?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Taxi">taxi</a> with a rear ramp, <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Tokyo_Motor_Show?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Tokyo Motor Show">Tokyo Motor Show</a> 2009 </figcaption> </figure> Automobile accessibility also refers to ease of use by disabled people.

A growing trend is the desire for many senior citizens to 'age in place', living as independently as possible for as long as possible. Accessibility modifications that allow ageing in place are becoming more common. Housing may even be designed to incorporate accessibility modifications that can be made throughout the life cycle of the residents. The English Housing Survey for 2018/19 found only 9% of homes in England have key features, such as a toilet at entrance level and sufficiently wide doorways, to deem them accessible.

Mild to moderate hearing loss may be accommodated with a hearing aid that amplifies ambient sounds. Portable devices with speed recognition that can produce text can reduce problems associated with understanding conversation. This kind of hearing loss is relatively common, and this often grows worse with age.

Initially introduced in PAS 78,<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-78">[78]</a> the best practice for web accessibility statements has been updated in BS 8878<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-79">[79]</a> to emphasise the inclusion of: information on how disabled and elderly people could get a better experience of using the website by using assistive technologies or accessibility settings of browsers and operating systems (linking to "BBC My Web My Way"<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-80">[80]</a> can be useful here); information on what accessibility features the site's creators have included, and if there are any user needs which the site does not currently support (for example, descriptive video to allow blind people to access the information in videos more easily); and contact details for disabled people to be able to use to let the site creators know if they have any problems in using the site. While validations against WCAG, and other accessibility badges can also be included, they should be put lower down the statement, as most disabled people still do not understand these technical terms.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-81">[81]</a> </section> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(9)"> <h2 id="Education_and_accessibility_for_students">Education and accessibility for students</h2> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Accessibility&action=edit&section=23&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Education and accessibility for students" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <section class="mf-section-9 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-9"> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"> <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/File:Vietnam_phusical_therapy_school_orphanage.jpg?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-file-description"> <noscript> <img alt="A woman is helping a young boy to stand up in a classroom with other students" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Vietnam_phusical_therapy_school_orphanage.jpg/220px-Vietnam_phusical_therapy_school_orphanage.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="323" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="697" data-file-height="1024"> </noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 323px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Vietnam_phusical_therapy_school_orphanage.jpg/220px-Vietnam_phusical_therapy_school_orphanage.jpg" data-alt="A woman is helping a young boy to stand up in a classroom with other students" data-width="220" data-height="323" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Vietnam_phusical_therapy_school_orphanage.jpg/330px-Vietnam_phusical_therapy_school_orphanage.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Vietnam_phusical_therapy_school_orphanage.jpg/440px-Vietnam_phusical_therapy_school_orphanage.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a> <figcaption> A teacher helps her student in an orphanage in central <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Vietnam?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Vietnam">Vietnam</a>.

It is still challenging for some students with disabilities to fully participate in mainstream education settings, but many adaptive technologies and assistive programs are making improvements. In India, the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Medical_Council_of_India?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Medical Council of India">Medical Council of India</a> has now passed the directives to all the medical institutions to make them accessible to persons with disabilities. This happened due to a petition by Satendra Singh founder of <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Infinite_Ability?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Infinite Ability">Infinite Ability</a>.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-82">[82]</a> Students with a physical or mental impairment or learning disability may require note-taking assistance, which may be provided by a business offering such services, as with tutoring services. Talking books in the form of talking textbooks are available in Canadian secondary and post-secondary schools. Also, students may require adaptive technology to access computers and the Internet. These may be tax-exempt expenses in some jurisdictions with a medical prescription. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"> <h3 id="Accessibility_of_assessments">Accessibility of assessments</h3> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Accessibility&action=edit&section=24&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: Accessibility of assessments" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> It is important to ensure that the accessibility in education includes assessments.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-83">[83]</a> Accessibility in testing or assessments entails the extent to which a test and its constituent item set eliminates barriers and permits the test-taker to demonstrate their knowledge of the tested content.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-84">[84]</a> With the passage of the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/No_Child_Left_Behind_Act?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="No Child Left Behind Act">No Child Left Behind Act</a> of 2001 in the United States,<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-85">[85]</a> student accountability in essential content areas such as reading, mathematics, and science has become a major area of focus in educational reform.<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-86">[86]</a> As a result, test developers have needed to create tests to ensure all students, including those with special needs (e.g., students identified with disabilities), are given the opportunity to demonstrate the extent to which they have mastered the content measured on state assessments. Currently, states are permitted to develop two different types of tests in addition to the standard grade-level assessments to target students with special needs. First, the alternate assessment may be used to report proficiency for up to 1% of students in a state. Second, new regulations permit the use of alternate assessments based on modified academic achievement standards to report proficiency for up to 2% of students in a state. To ensure that these new tests generate results that allow valid inferences to be made about student performance, they must be accessible to as many people as possible. The Test Accessibility and Modification Inventory (TAMI)<a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-87">[87]</a> and its companion evaluation tool, the Accessibility Rating Matrix (ARM), were designed to facilitate the evaluation of tests and test items with a focus on enhancing their accessibility. Both instruments incorporate the principles of accessibility theory and were guided by research on universal design, assessment accessibility, cognitive load theory, and research on item writing and test development. The TAMI is a non-commercial instrument that has been made available to all state assessment directors and testing companies. Assessment researchers have used the ARM to conduct accessibility reviews of state assessment items for several state departments of education. </section> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(10)"> <h2 id="See_also">See also</h2> <a role="button" href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/w/index.php?title=Accessibility&action=edit&section=25&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Edit section: See also" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <section class="mf-section-10 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-10"> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style> <div class="div-col" style="column-width: 30em;"> <ul> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessible_toilet?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Accessible toilet">Accessible toilet</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Accessible_tourism?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Accessible tourism">Accessible tourism</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/CEN/CENELEC_Guide_6?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="CEN/CENELEC Guide 6">CEN/CENELEC Guide 6</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Computer_accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Computer accessibility">Computer accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Convenience?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Convenience">Convenience</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Curb_cut_effect?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Curb cut effect">Curb cut effect</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Design_for_All_(in_ICT)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Design for All (in ICT)">Design for All (in ICT)</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Disability_flag?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Disability flag">Disability flag</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Game_accessibility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Game accessibility">Game accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Human_factors_and_ergonomics?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="Human factors and ergonomics">Human factors and ergonomics</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Inclusive_design?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Inclusive design">Inclusive design</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Knowbility?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Knowbility">Knowbility</a></li> <li><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/National_Federation_of_the_Blind_v._Target_Corporation?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" class="mw-redirect" title="National Federation of the Blind v.
