TEXT: Argument

 What all of the literature has in common is that digital accessibility should not be a bolt on at the end, but instead be part of the process of creating materials with a understanding of user needs at the forefront. To get this right, awareness, education and training plays a vital part. 

This research argues and promotes that because of our social responsibility for equality as a ‘digital by default’ society, the awareness and skills surrounding digital accessibility should be taught at the very point of learning about digital. This would help to ensure that these practices are established as the norm much earlier on, therefore not added as an extra or unpicked later on in life. 

Exploring this in the primary school curriculum also means that this underpinning awareness and baseline knowledge can be brought into the mainstream for all of our future citizens in society. This would additionally help to address the added concerns that broader awareness around digital accessibility is lacking beyond that of specialists.
