# Accessibility (A11y)
----------------------
`draft` `optional` `author:fernandolguevara`
## Abstract
Accessibility involves designing content, products, services, and environments to be usable and accessible by users with disabilities. This NIP proposes a mechanism for users with disabilities to define their accessibility preferences using `kind: 0` event type. This way, NOSTR Clients can enhance the inclusive experience for all users.
## Categories of disabilities
To address diverse accessibility needs, disabilities can be categorized into:
- Visual
- Hearing
- Physical
- Cognitive, Learning, and Neurological
- Speech
Example
-------
```json
{
"kind": 0,
"tags": [
["a11y", "visual", "hearing", "physical", "..."],
// TODO: We need consensus on categorization and nomination of accessibility markers
["a11y-visual", "contrast sensitivity", "red color blindness"],
["a11y-visual-color-blindness", "red"]
]
...
}
```
Implementing this proposal could benefit a range of scenarios:
1. **Adaptive UI**: Clients can dynamically adjust their user interfaces based on the provided accessibility preferences, ensuring optimal interaction for users with disabilities.
2. **Content Customization**: Content can be presented in formats that suit users' preferences, such as providing subtitles for videos or larger fonts for visually impaired users.
3. **Navigation**: Users with physical disabilities can set preferences for navigation methods that best suit their abilities, whether via keyboard shortcuts or voice commands.
