Summary

Inclusive documents are accessible, written in plain language, easy to read, and shared in advance. They use clear language, accessible formats, and provide enough time for people to review information and give feedback.

Why is this important?

Providing accessible documents in multiple formats helps everyone access the same information independently. Inaccessible documents create barriers to participation, making it difficult for D/deaf and D/disabled people to review information, provide feedback, and contribute to the standards development process.
