Accessibility is an approach to creating an environment that allows people to access the environment. An example includes building an office with a wheelchair ramp to allow persons using a wheelchair the ability to move around freely within the workplace. Accommodation is modifying or adding a device to a workplace that allows a person the ability to work. An example includes the use of screen reader software by a person with blindness to read information from their computer.
