Editor's Notes
- I want to spend this time to answer one big question: How does Windows think about accessibility? I will share how our Microsoft culture fundamentally shapes thinking, move into some stories and demos about accessibility in Windows, and then close with a few calls to action. Sound good?
- Before I dive in, I think a lot of people wonder: WHY. Why does Microsoft care about accessibility? It all comes back to our company mission. Our mission, at Microsoft, is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. And when we say every person, that includes the billion plus people living with disabilities. Our mission is only attainable if everyone has access and opportunity to achieve more…
- When we talk about empowering people we simply mean that with the right tools, anyone can do anything. That’s everyone. In every context. And context matters. Here’s why…
- Let’s look at how we think about disability. For most of the 20th century, disability was defined as the result of an individual’s condition - the problem was with the person. We are starting to think about disabilities differently though, when we look at the environment surrounding someone. A disability is not a problem with the person, but rather, a mismatch between what a person wants to achieve, and an environment that does not support it. This definition, first adopted by the World Health Organization, presents a solvable design, business and social problem, that technology is uniquely positioned to tackle. That’s why Microsoft has taken this problem on, because it stands directly between us and our ability to accomplish our mission.
- Just to reiterate, over a billion people live with disabilities. Their exclusion harms all of us. Computers and the internet provide opportunities and access to services, education and jobs for people with disabilities. Did you know that the unemployment rate for people with disabilities is more than twice the average? This population represents an enormous untapped talent pool at a time when we are all in need of great talent. The challenges are real and the opportunity is large. And that’s what drives us everyday to make our products more accessible.
