Most digital technologies are still built and released then remediated for accessibility later--an expensive, inefficient, and exclusionary process. In contrast, the born-accessible approach ensures that accessibility is built in from the start, by involving people with disabilities at every stage of design, development, and procurement. This user-centered strategy improves productivity, enhances user experience, reduces costs, and helps meet legal and regulatory requirements.
