yhteentoettavuus

Yhteentoettavuus, also known as accessibility or usability, refers to the design and development of products, services, or environments to be used by people with the widest possible range of abilities, operational and environmental conditions. It encompasses various aspects such as physical accessibility, digital accessibility, and cognitive accessibility. Physical accessibility ensures that buildings, transportation, and other physical spaces are usable by people with disabilities, including those who use wheelchairs, have visual impairments, or require other assistive devices. Digital accessibility focuses on making websites, software, and other digital content usable by people with disabilities, often through the implementation of standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Cognitive accessibility considers the ease of use and understanding of products and services, ensuring that they are intuitive and easy to navigate for users with cognitive impairments or learning disabilities. Yhteentoettavuus is a crucial aspect of inclusive design, promoting equal access and participation for all individuals, regardless of their abilities or circumstances. It is guided by principles such as universality, equity, simplicity, and flexibility, aiming to create a more accessible and inclusive world.
