Accessibility: Essential for some, useful for all.
The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops strategies, standards, and supporting resources to make the web accessible to people with disabilities.
In addition to international standards, we provide free online resources to help you understand and implement accessibility.
You can use W3C WAI resources to make your websites, apps, and other digital content and technology products more accessible and usable to everyone.

As Diretrizes de Acessibilidade para Conteúdo Web (WCAG) 2.2 abrangem diversas recomendações com a finalidade de tornar o conteúdo da Web mais acessível. Seguir estas diretrizes irá tornar o conteúdo acessível a um maior número de pessoas com deficiência, incluindo acomodações para cegueira e baixa visão, surdez e baixa audição, limitações de movimentos, incapacidade de fala, fotossensibilidade e combinações destas características, e alguma acomodação para dificuldades de aprendizagem e limitações cognitivas; mas não abordará todas as necessidades de usuários com essas deficiências. Seu conteúdo da Web também ficará mais acessível aos usuários em geral ao seguir estas diretrizes.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 covers a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible. Following these guidelines will make content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including accommodations for blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these, and some accommodation for learning disabilities and cognitive limitations; but will not address every user need for people with these disabilities. These guidelines address accessibility of web content on any kind of device (including desktops, laptops, kiosks, and mobile devices). Following these guidelines will also often make web content more usable to users in general.
