accessibility features
Disability support options
Accessibility features are design elements that make products, services, or environments usable by people with disabilities.
In technology, these include screen readers for the blind, closed captions for the deaf, and voice control for those who can't use a keyboard: Enable accessibility features in your phone's settings.
The term extends to physical accommodations like ramps and braille signage.
