ABLE survey

Accessibility is the degree to which an environment, a service, a device, or a good is available to as many people as possible particularly people with disabilities and health issues.

A person is considered to have a disability if he has a physical or mental impairment, a history of such an impairment, or regarded as having such an impairment that limits one or more major life activity. This is a very all encompassing definition that can include things from allergies to mobility issues.
