This is because "accessible" without context has become associated with disability. 🤦♂️
You can't define accessibility without identifying who or what something is accessible to.
e.g., "this island is only accessible by boat."

Information in our environments can be Universally Designed by the use of closed captioning, American Sign Language, braille, larger san serif fonts on a contrasting background, appropriate signage placement, and described video! #AccessAbility #AccessibleCanada!

Another principle of Universal Design: it’s simple! Curb cuts are easy to create and make sidewalks accessible to everyone.

We all make mistakes. Universal Design keeps them to a minimum by considering tolerance for error. When you make a mistake in many software applications, like Homer Simpson, you can press Ctrl+Z to undo, undo! That’s Universal Design.

Universal Design operates under the principle of Low Physical Effort to increase accessibility!
In the context of the Covid-19 response, universally designed items like automated hand sanitizer dispensers are more important than ever.
