What’s the impact?

1.5 billion people)—with a combined disposable income

  • f more than $1.2 trillion.
  • This is the largest minority group in the US which also

includes

Aging and elderly Someone that is temporarily injured

ableism, there is little to no attention paid to accessibility

  • utside of regulated industries or after a lawsuit.

“But I thought this didn’t apply to me!”

“the ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act] applied to Domino’s website and app because the Act mandates that places of public accommodation, like Domino’s, provide auxiliary aids and services to make visual materials available to individuals who are blind.”

Good News!

  • There’s a huge upside to accessibility in a large

untapped market that can be reached when ability is

  • considered. 1 in 5 Adults in America has a disability and

they have spending power.

  • Enhancing the website for most companies is more cost

efficient and timely than changing physical attributes of their stores

  • As we become more educated as a society coding for

accessibility will be normal practice

  • Since there are no regulations currently in place by

Department of Justice (DoJ) for commercial entities there is flexibility given to good faith efforts whose goal is to meet requirements for public accommodation
