  1. Accessibility for People with Disabilities Accessibility is the degree to which a product or service is usable by as many people as possible. Accessibility for people with disabilities focuses on their right to access information and services, often through the use of assistive technology.

  2. Electronic and Information Resources (EIR) Accessibility • State agencies must provide comparable access to information resources to both employees and the public with and without disabilities. (Government Code, Chapter 2054; Texas Administrative Code, Chapters 206 and 213.) • Examples of electronic and information resources are: telephones, computers, videos, web sites, copiers and fax machines. • Employees should design electronic information such as emails, spreadsheets, Word documents, and PDFs using accessibility guidelines.

  3. Accessibility benefits Accessibility benefits everyone—not just people with disabilities. As we age, we may require accommodation or assistive technology to assure access to employment and services. For guidelines, training and information about making documents and materials accessible, look for accessibility information links on your agency's intranet or the HHSC Accessibility website (www.hhscaccess.com to be added later!!!!!!!) .
