Assistive Technology and Accessibility Work Together

Assistive technology and accessibility work together to create functional access. Assistive technology provides individualized tools and access methods, while accessibility helps ensure that websites, documents, software, devices, environments, and services can work effectively with those tools. An accessible environment does not replace individualized assistive technology, and assistive technology cannot always overcome an inaccessible environment.
