ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter, we examined the legislative imperatives for companies to adopt design for accessibility. However, basing a business case for accessibility on legislative requirements is not a good strategy for generating truly accessible prod ucts. The reason for this is that most legislation is based on the concept of products having to meet a minimum level of accessibility to avoid potential lawsuits. This in turn leads to many companies adopting the attitude that if the only reason they are considering making their products accessible is to avoid such litigation, then there is no incentive to go beyond the minimum levels of accessibility stipulated by the legislation.
