Accessibility is a long word, and in an industry that loves truncating titles—KFC, BMW, UPS, REI—we need to embrace a11y.
This numeronym (where numbers form an abbreviation) conveys that in between the A and Y of “accessibility,” there are 11 more letters. For many nondisabled people, accessibility can seem like a foreign concept that requires monumental changes; using a11y makes inclusion more approachable, personal and achievable.
This subtle moniker change may help to shift thinking and actions from accessibility as “something another department deals with” to a reframing of how everyone has the power to be an ally across departments and throughout the creative process.
Accessibility is at an all-time high in terms of visibility.
