 Accessibility < noun >

As according to the ADA, accessibility refers to the design of products,

devices, services, vehicles, or environments so as to be usable by people
with disabilities. Accessibility can be viewed as the "ability to access" and
benefit from some system or entity. The concept focuses on enabling
access for people with disabilities, or enabling access through the use of
assistive technology; however, research and development in accessibility
brings benefits to everyone
