Auditory • Can range from hard of hearing to complete deafness • Some of the barriers are no captions or transcripts for video No volume control or adjustment for text size and colours for captions. • So to over come this all website that have audio content, such as videos with voices and sounds should have the option to display captions as well as the option for Audio volume control.
Low Vision • People with low vision will need help to see what is on the website • Some barriers are Text, images and page layouts that cannot be resized Video content that does not have text or audio alternatives, or an audio-description track • So website should be made so that everyone can see them and adjust them how they like
Colour Blind • difficulty distinguishing between colours such as between red and green, or between yellow and blue, and sometimes inability to perceive any colour • So for those how suffer from this you should think about limiting the type of colours you use for you're website so Don't use only colour to indicate something specific on your page.
