accessible format
Adapted for all
An accessible format presents information in ways that people with disabilities can perceive and use.
Books in Braille, audio descriptions of videos, large-print documents, and screen-reader-compatible websites are accessible formats.
The term appears frequently in disability rights contexts and legal requirements: The university must provide course materials in accessible formats.
