Builder-Side Accessibility Interventions

Builder-side Interventions are acts of care that builders can take to prevent their systems from creating barriers for users with disabilities.

Builders shape software, services, content, and policies. Their decisions create access, or barriers that force users with disabilities to compensate.

  1. Set Requirements that Include Accessibility
  2. Create Accessible Content
  3. Design Accessible Experiences
  4. Develop Accessible Implementations
  5. Test for Accessibility
  6. Triage and Prioritize Accessibility Issues
  7. Iterate to Address Shortcomings
  8. Provide support channels
  9. Create stopgaps

📝 Disclaimer

The ENABLE Model draws on the principles of anthropology and the practice of journalism to create a public ethnography of accessibility, documenting how people intervene or compensate for accessibility breakdowns in the real world. Inclusion here does not imply endorsement. It chronicles observed use -- how a tool, organization, or strategy is actually used -- rather than how it is marketed. References, when provided, are for verification and transparency.
