  • Mobility – customers may also have difficulties moving
  • Speech – they may be mute or have problems speaking clearly

To ensure accessibility in your company, there are various things you should adopt, and this covers those that have to do with your local premise and online. Also, some of them are easy to follow. They require minor adjustments or small changes, but they can create a huge impact.

 

Have parking spots for people with disability
