An accessibility barrier means anything that prevents a person with a disability from fully participating in all aspects of society because of their disability. Barriers limit the things people with disabilities can do, the places they can go, or the attitudes of others toward them.
Five of the most common kinds of barriers are:
- Physical or architectural barriers
- Information or communication barrriers
- Technological barriers
- Organizational barriers (such as policies or practices)
- Attitudinal barriers
