Accesibility in Education - European Union Commision

Accessibility standardisation Common European accessibility standards help remove barriers for people with disabilities and others (e.g. the older people).For example, if buildings and streets are not accessible, persons with disabilities are not able to go around like other people. If information on a website is not accessible, persons with disabilities are not able to shop online like other people.Hence, European accessibility standards have been put in place to support implementation of accessibility in the built environment and ICT and for organisations to adopt a ‘Design for All’ approach.https://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=1485&langId=en
