HP's goal is to design, produce, and market products, services, and information that everyone everywhere
can use, either on a stand-alone basis or with appropriate third-party assistive technology (AT) devices or
applications.
HP and accessibility
Because HP works to weave diversity, inclusion, and work/life into the fabric of the company, it is reflected in
everything HP does. HP strives to create an inclusive environment focused on connecting people to the power
of technology throughout the world.
For more information, see Finding the best assistive technology on page 32.
The HP commitment
HP is committed to providing products and services that are accessible for people with disabilities. This
commitment supports the company's diversity objectives and helps ensure that the benefits of technology are
available to all.
The HP accessibility goal is to design, produce, and market products and services that can be effectively used
by everyone, including people with disabilities, either on a stand-alone basis or with appropriate assistive
devices.
To achieve that goal, this Accessibility Policy establishes seven key objectives to guide HP actions. All HP
managers and employees are expected to support these objectives and their implementation in accordance
with their roles and responsibilities:
● Raise the level of awareness of accessibility issues within HP, and provide employees with the training
they need to design, produce, market, and deliver accessible products and services.
● Develop accessibility guidelines for products and services, and hold product development groups
accountable for implementing these guidelines where competitively, technically, and economically
feasible.
● Involve people with disabilities in the development of accessibility guidelines and in the design and
testing of products and services.
● Document accessibility features, and make information about HP products and services publicly available
in an accessible form.
Accessibility 31
● Support internal and external research and development that improves assistive technology relevant to
HP products and services.
As a founding member, HP joined to participate with other organizations to advance the field of accessibility.
This commitment supports HP’s accessibility goal of designing, producing, and marketing products and
services that people with disabilities can effectively use.
IAAP will make the profession strong by globally connecting individuals, students, and organizations to learn
from one another. If you are interested in learning more, go to http://www.accessibilityassociation.org to join
the online community, sign up for newsletters, and learn about membership options.
Whether it’s large fonts that are easy on the eyes, voice recognition that lets you give your hands a rest, or
any other assistive technology to help with your specific situation—a variety of assistive technologies make
HP products easier to use. How do you choose?
You can choose from many AT products. Your AT assessment should allow you to evaluate several products,
answer your questions, and facilitate your selection of the best solution for your situation. You will find that
professionals qualified to do AT assessments come from many fields, including those licensed or certified
in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language pathology, and other areas of expertise. Others,
while not certified or licensed, can also provide evaluation information. You will want to ask about the
individual's experience, expertise, and fees to determine if they are appropriate for your needs.

WCAG advances accessibility across the full range of web content (text, images, audio, and video) and web
applications. WCAG can be precisely tested, is easy to understand and use, and allows web developers
flexibility for innovation. WCAG 2.0 has also been approved as ISO/IEC 40500:2012.
WCAG specifically addresses barriers to accessing the web experienced by people with visual, auditory,
physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities, and by older web users with accessibility needs. WCAG 2.0
provides characteristics of accessible content:
● Perceivable (for instance, by addressing text alternatives for images, captions for audio, adaptability of
presentation, and color contrast)
● Operable (by addressing keyboard access, color contrast, timing of input, seizure avoidance, and
navigability)
● United States
● Canada
● Europe
● Australia
