630,000 persons with disabilities (Liter, 2014).

Meruert (Almaty): “Accessibility is not only railings, ramps or lifts. This is students' relationships with the teachers.” “Why do universities not have the Student Disability Services?”

Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. People with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web (World Wide Web Consortium, 2005).
