Administrator Guide to Accessibility 7
Our Approach to Accessibility
Google’s mission is to make the world’s information more accessible for all users,
including people with disabilities, such as blindness, visual impairment, color deficiency,
deafness, and hearing loss. We’re working towards these goals by:
• Building in accessibility into key Google products
• Developing accessibility APIs and services for Google Android and ChromeOS
platforms
• Supporting open standards to ensure that the greater Web is accessible through all
adaptive technologies
Google Apps offers the ability for people to work and interact together. So we’re investing
in development to make this collaboration as accessible as possible.
A guiding principle at Google is to focus on the user. We’ve developed active partnerships
with advocacy groups and people with disabilities for their input and feedback. Our
Accessibility Team, which is made of up of a diverse group of people, serves as
accessibility consultants within Google and develops the accessibility frameworks that
product teams build upon.
We hope to have a positive impact on the current state of accessibility on the Web, and to
continue to serve all of our users.
