What does accessibility mean?
“Accessible means a person with a disability is afforded the opportunity to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services as a person without a disability in an equally effective and equally integrated manner, with substantially equivalent ease of use. The person with a disability must be able to obtain the information as fully, equally and independently as a person without a disability.”
(Resolution Agreement South Carolina Technical College System OCR Compliance Review No. 11-11-6002)
