Accessibility is availability. I fully believe it has nothing to do with human realities. Disability literally means apart from ability. Who here has all abilities? The practice of Web #a11y technically helps everyone. We use the word inclusion. Exclusion is the true disability.

Accessibility is how well disabled people can use something. It’s a spectrum from more accessible to less accessible, with the goal to be as inclusive as possible.

It’s interesting that Apple has an accessibility phone number to help people only with items on the accessibility menu in settings. If you use other features like keyboard dictation for your disability they are not allowed to help you. Apple does not understand accessibility.

Apple doesn't understand how to properly support people using accessibility features would be my rewrite of that because they do have a long history of being accessibility aware in general not perfect but in general

The accessibility phone number is very good and the people who man it are kind and helpful. Though you used to have to press 1 to verify you were using it for accessibility issues. Pretty hard for someone with a movement disorder. They no longer require that.

I'm glad to hear that at least that's movement pun intended in the right direction for people who have Mobility impairments. I have a cyclical throughout the day problem with my hands because I use them to type play guitar and piano and voice input is needed at times. It sucks.
