*What do we mean by "digital"? Digital accessibility "refers to designing digital content so that it can be fully used by people with disabilities. "Digital content" includes anything used or viewed on a computer or mobile device" such as Word docs, PowerPoints, Canvas pages, a blog page, an ebook, a PDF, etc.
