<commit_before>See [Participate in Global Accessibility Awareness Day](http://www.globalaccessibilityawarenessday.org/participate.html) for more detail. These activities help us use the web as people with disabilities do, and see if we can help make our sites and apps better for them.

**Disability** can be defined as the conflict between **ability** (the functional capability of a person) and a **barrier** (a problem created by a product). We can find these barriers and remove them, and avoid putting them there in the first place, opening up our sites and apps to more people.

## Go Mouseless / Trackpadless

People with physical disabilities use a keyboard instead of a mouse as it doesn’t require precise movements.

* Is there a visible focus indicator (i.e., do you know where you are) at all times as you navigate each screen using the tab and shift tab keys?
* Are you able to interact with every element that receives focus using the keyboard alone?
* If there is any element that provides functionality if you hover over it with your mouse, such as revealing a tooltip or a set of actions, can you display this strictly using the keyboard alone?

## Enlarge Your Fonts

People with visual disabilities enlarge their fonts or use a zoom tool so that text is more readable.

* Check that your page(s) is accessible and usable for low vision/visually impaired users.
* Resize the text to 200 percent. Make sure there is no loss of content or functionality.
* Have all elements resized, including all widgets?<commit_msg>Add front-matter, tweak text a bit<commit_after>---
