Are people with disabilities getting your message? Do they know what great products and services you have to offer? Is your information available in a format they can access? Think about

• a person with a visual disability who can't read your menu because the print is too small
• a person who is Deaf who can't find out about your business because your TV commercial doesn't have closed captioning
• a person with arthritis who can't use a mouse to scroll through your website
• a student with an intellectual disability who can't fill out an application form because the instructions are not easy to understand.

About the accessible information and communications standard: Where we are now

This standard aims to help how businesses and organizations create, provide and receive information and communications in ways that are accessible for people with disabilities.

The final proposed Accessible Information and Communication Standard has now been submitted to the Minister of Community and Social Services for consideration as law.
