    1. Jobs Find a job, training, hiring programs, work permits, Social Insurance Number (SIN)

      This is a poorer example of an accessibility technique, since the single line contains numerous issues that are distinct from each other. The issues of employment, training, hiring, permits, and the number of Social Insurance are connected but separate tasks. The combination of several items in the single description makes the information more difficult for a user to process if the individual is under pressure, not well versed in government services, or using a screen reader.

    2. Main Menu

      This is not a great accessibility choice since the term “MENU” is highly generic in that it does not provide any details on what the button contains. It will be hard for some people to determine if it provides information about the services offered by the agency, its various departments, account management, or navigation categories.

    3. Jobs

      This makes for a good accessibility practice since the category label used is concise, clear, and straightforward. The page avoids using jargon that can be hard to understand; rather, it opts for an understandable word that lets the user know what kind of content he or she can expect in that category.

    4. Most requested

      It is an effective accessibility technique in that it positions the most commonly used services closer to the beginning of the page. Users will not have to scour the entire site to find what they need. It is beneficial especially for individuals who may be under pressure and less focused.

    5. Canada.ca The official website of the Government of Canada

      This is a useful accessibility practice, since the web page has a straightforward and clear title. Readers do not need to browse through the page in order to understand the purpose of the web page; it is very clear from the outset. An explicit page title also guides blind users to know their location within the page.
