Use work on accessibility as a catalyst for new ideas and business strategies through technology and design.

What success looks like

Canadians with disabilities are participating more in the digital economy with the help of assistive and adaptive digital devices and technologies.

Government's narrative on progress

The Accessible Technology Program will help fill the gap in support for the development of assistive and adaptive digital devices and technologies that enable persons with disabilities to fully participate in society. It will help remove barriers to Internet access and other digital services for Canadians with disabilities, will help them gain the digital skills they need for good jobs, and enable them to fully participate in the digital economy.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
