NYC DOE's Digital Accessibility and Inclusion
By law, all DOE websites must be accessible. This applies to the content on the page, as well as all documents, images, and videos posted on it.
Making our websites accessible to everyone is an important part of our commitment to equity and excellence. An accessible website is one formatted for people with disabilities and is easy for people with disabilities and speakers of other languages to use.
Did you know that:
1. 20 percent of New York students identify as having a disability?
2. Nearly 50 percent of New York City households speak a language other than English?
These groups of people may rely on an assistive tool (like a screen reader or browser-based translation) that requires digitally accessible content to work.
